The kids loved this! The glassmaster, who is retired and now makes the little figures, has been making Murano glass for over 30 years. During his demonstration, he took the glass blob on the end of a pole and had only 60 seconds to make it into a horse. And of course, once he started pulling at the glass, in less than a minute he made a horse! The kids were each given one but not the one he just made because it would take 48 hours to cool completely. After he had finished the horses a few minutes passed and he touched a piece of newspaper to the horses and the paper instantly caught fire. The kids thought that was so cool.
