The glass pieces will prompt dialog amongst their viewers and help facilitate the understanding of glassblowing as an art form. The winners will also personally observe the glassblowing process at the artist's studio. the booklet produced will help viewers analyze and compare how the glassblower transformed the child's original drawing to the finished glass piece.

Comments from the tour included: Excellent presentation great project involving kids; The presentation was wonderful. What a cool way to keep the joy of imagination...through glass; The presentation was detailed and incredibly interesting.

Very interesting and one of the best programs we've seen.
