On Sunday, February 8th we took a family day trip to a glassblowing shop in the Black Forest. We took a tour of the shop and saw the different styles of techniques used to make the beautiful glassware. The Dortheenhutte, located in Wolfach Germany, is the last remaining glass blowing shop in the Black Forest. After our tour we even got to try our hand at making vases. Carrera and I both took our turns, choosing the colors we wanted to add to the molten glass and blowing the glass. It was so amazing to see the glass take shape. Brandon declined to make a vase, but did end up buying one to bring home. Of course we (I) didn't want Grace to be left out, so we bought her one too.
