I do, too. I headed for that stream specifically to take those photos as I remembered the piece from our 2009 visit.

Hi Mike .. love the video too + that glass blower – it’s wonderful to see the craftsmen still working their passion ..

The bronzes are beautiful as to seeing the water wheel working away … cheers Hilary

Thanks. We’ve seen the glass workers in a number of places over the years. The “studio glass movement” is actually a fairly recent development in the history of glass blowing. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_glass_movement )
