Something to Learn

I think it would be interesting to learn how to craft blown glass art: jars, goblets, those fancy glass bowls that sit on tables as centerpieces. I've seen videos of it being done, but never in person. There is a really hot fire that the molten glass is placed in on a long stick, and then those people work their artist magic, and beautiful glass objects are created! 
I think my fascination with this came from the fact that I've always had a fascination with Venice. Venice, Italy, happens to be famous for its Venetian blown glass. In all the books I've read about Venice, they always talk about the glass. There's usually a character, such as an old man, tan, with caloused hands and sensitive eyes, who has spent his life before a fire, blowing glass and learning the trade.
I think it would be challenging to learn, but the results that those people produce are beautiful. Delicate glass roses, fragile glasses, all in gorgeous glass colors. It's truly a magnificent art form.
I hope I can learn!
