I take a lot of field trips with my kids and friends, and by far the best one we took in 2008 was a visit to Wimberley that included a glassblowing demonstration at Wimberley Glassworks.

When I first called to arrange the visit, I was pleasantly surprised that they would welcome a group of school-aged kids into their showroom filled with lovely (and expensive) breakables. They did, and our little group made it safely to the workshop in the back for the big show.
