On t he new Celebrity Solstice, as part of the enrichment program, passengers can see a glass blowing demonstration, presented by the Corning Museum of Glass.
Corning calls the narrated demonstration the "Hot Glass Show."
That's different! Wonder if they will also have small blown glass pieces available for purchase?
. . . Celebrity will collaborate with the world-renowned Corning Museum of Glass to bring the captivating art of glassblowing to sea when the Museum's "Hot Glass Show(SM)" debuts on Celebrity Solstice in December 2008.
Through Celebrity's alliance with The Corning Museum of Glass, the premier authority on glass and glassmaking history, the Hot Glass Show will provide live demonstrations and a narrated performance of glassblowing, designed to engage, educate and inspire cruisers about the art, history and science of glass.
. . . Located on the ship's upper deck within a custom-designed, outdoor glassmaking studio, the Hot Glass Show will present the history and craft of glassblowing, from its ancient origins to its current countless uses.
. . . Since 2001, the Museum has traveled the Hot Glass Show to museums, art fairs and public festivals around the world
I see that it will be done up on deck. I am sure they will building a rather extensive fire suppression system in that area. They will probably have to limit the shows to when they are in calm seas.

I got to see this demonstration last week Thursday evening at the Leisure Travel Conference 2007, in Ft Lauderdale. Funny thing was I had just seen one the Thursday before in Malta, at the Mdina Glass Factory.

So how did they compare, Ken? Did they use any different techniques? What were they making?
