WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet.

Fused Glass

Ancient piece of fused glass shown at the British Museum, London
Glass museum Murano, Venice, Italy

Because I work in fused glass at home, when I am out and about I am drawn to art glass everywhere. When in any major city I will stop at galleries or in museums and check out the glass work. Certainly the most famous place is Murano, an island of Venice where they do amazing work. There is also a museum there that includes work by Picasso who I did not know worked in glass. The British Museum has the oldest glass I have seen, some from the Greeks and Egyptians.  It is fun for me to use glass as a way of tying my travels together.
