I’m starting to prefer the sidebar deals on Groupon lately. I mean, there’s only so many laser hair-removal deals you can post about before the enthusiasm level drops.
This Groupon is for Prodigy Glassworks in Oak Park, $37 for a glassblowing class for two (a $75 value).
Deets: Expires Oct 10, 2011. Limit 2 per person. Reservation required.
I’ve done this!! Its fun, difficult and very, very hot, that is molten, red-hot glass on the five foot long blow-pipe that the dude is shaping. Watching a team work on a piece is like watching a well-choreographed ballet. Its awesome. If you get a chance to get to Corning, NY, watch them make mouth-blown crystal at the Steuben factory. I made the pilgrimage and just, wow.
