After a glass-blowing artist demonstrates how pieces are made and covers the history and basics of the trade, students take up the torch to create their own set of drink stirrers or several glass beads. Fun-Time Classes teach students how to melt glass into marbles, beads, jars, pendants, or sculptures. Classes are generally held Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays; see the info packs for the glass-blowing class for schedules and what to wear.

Glass Monkey Art Studio

Situated upon a 7-acre organic farm, Glass Monkey Art Studio is a creative hub where skilled flame workers craft functional pieces and artwork such as jewelry, smoking accessories, and bird feeders for clients. They also lead workshops that acquaint aspiring artists with their unique set of skills. After learning to create a set of drink stirrers during the Intro to Glassblowing class, students are free to take more advanced workshops that teach them to make beads, marbles, vases, and other iridescent artwork for wearing, displaying at home, or gifting to a particularly beautiful sunbeam.

The Groupon Guide to: Mystery Baskets

Anyone with a doorstep has most likely already been a recipient of mysteriously abandoned baskets, with or without notes explaining the contents and, if necessary, how to care for those contents. Brace yourself before peeking under that blanket—your new, free basket most likely contains one of the following:

  • Abandoned infant girl born out of wedlock to a wealthy count
  • Eight kittens or one regular-size cat
  • A smaller basket containing yet-smaller baskets, culminating in a meticulously hand-woven wicker thimble
  • More free hours of AOL than you can realistically use before death
  • An assortment of meats and cheeses from Grandmama! And what’s this … almond bark?!
  • A spring-loaded pie to the face and a note: "Don’t mess with the Eighth Street Cobras!"

More than 50% of Americans receive mystery baskets on their doorstep every day.
