The glass academy is letting you relax while watching glass become art

If you ever had the pleasure of watching the art of glass blowing, you know how mesmerizing it can be! The Glass Academy in Dearborn has been bringing this art form to our community since 2003, and they are not letting the quarantine stop them. Michelle Plucinsky, the co-founder of Glass Academy, joined Tati Amare over Skype to tell us more about how you can still enjoy the magic of glass blowing while social distancing. Videos like this one are what they are sharing over Facebook Live, gaining them a global audience. For those with kids at home, the academy did several Facebook lives talking about the science behind glass blowing, as part of STEM education.
