During project sessions, participants peruse supplies and choose their favorite colors, or just the ones that display their hatred of magenta. With the assistance of a hot-shop staff member, they blend their pigments into glass puddles dispensed from a 2,000-degree furnace and slowly craft the project of their choice. Finished forms cool in the confines of a 1,000-degree kiln, which ensures pieces stay crack-free while heat disperses, and artists may pick up their work about 72 hours later.

Uptown Glassworks

Within the century-old confines of Uptown Glassworks' warehouse, furnaces melt handfuls of kaleidoscopic frit into malleable shapes manipulated by a team of professional glass blowers. But these tradesmen don't just create works for the gallery; they also share their secrets with students in a variety of activities, from introductory courses on making beads and paperweights to advanced instruction that can be applied toward college credit or used to fix the pockmarked walls of glass houses.

During the shop's Blow-Your-Own sessions, participants apply color to clear, molten glass that has recently emerged from a 2,000-degree furnace, then blow their mixture into 1 of 20 different shapes. The next day, patrons can pick up their cooled and packaged creations, comparing their handiwork to the gallery's collection of products, which are made by more than 90 local and regional glass artists.

The Groupon Guide to: Short-Story Topics

The hardest part of writing a short story is what to do with all the millions of dollars it will earn you, but the second hardest part is coming up with an idea for one. Here is a free list of ideas for short stories that we would be thrilled if anyone used:

  • While her husband is at work, a sad woman looks at a photograph of her sister on the beach.
  • Men come to blows over whose father was more distant.
  • It’s like a sheep or a mouse or something but it talks like a human would and has an iPhone. You don’t have to try very hard on this one.
  • A lady and a man are on a plane on their way to go hunting in Africa. They are married but they do NOT like each other.
  • A thinly veiled story from your life that follows no plot structure because that’s probably what you’re gonna write anyway.
  • What if horses rode humans around for work and sport? What then, huh?

What are some good ideas for short stories? Find out in today’s Groupon Guide.
