Glassblowing demo at London Glassworks

Forget the bull in a china shop how about a child in a glass shop? it was a bit frightening at times when you notice your 4 year-old reaching out for a vase that would require a new mortgage to replace but the shop was hardly the main spectacle?
What was that then? the mince pies that both the Biggers demanded on entry then decided they didn't like.
Really? no; it was a demonstration of hand created glassware. I was expecting D to be fascinated with this but he was too preoccupied with the need to spend my money. B however was interested and watched the demonstration very attentively. They variously demonstrated making glasses and did a couple of demonstrations with a commentary so we now all know the technical reason for thumbing in and that although making a handle looks difficult, it is much harder than it looks.
How did they take to kids wandering around glassware displays and near furnaces with temperatures in excess of 1000C? Quite relaxed, as it turns out. They were very friendly even answering questions from D (maybe he was interested).
And L? slept.
