Corning Glass Museum ..

On 28th May, Manoj and I had planned to visit Corning Glass museum.

We started in the morning at around 8:30 AM and drove towards Corning via 17W.

It was fist time Manoj was driving long. He wanted me to accompany him so that he is confident. haha :)

Anyway I was with the map and helping him driving..










By 10AM we had reached the glass city, Corning. It was a brigh sunny day. There was a shuttle bus which leaves the visitor parking to Museum. We get on to the bus and reached the place..

This State of Art glass art is from India.. Amazing art work.. Currently this is my wall paper. Corning has spent lot of money to buy this from Royal Family from India.

The only similar glass article is in India











Glass Manufacturing Demo.. This glass artist is blowing since 25 years.. this is the first stage .. The glass will be at 1200 deg centigrade. he keeps rotating until certain time and strats blowing ..













This is the second stage where he is making the shape and opening the top portion..
