Children's Glassblowing Memory Bubble Workshop
Hosted by the Alzheimer's Glass and Iron Project at Salem Art Works
19 Cary Lane, Salem, NY, 12865
Date and Time:
June 17th & 18th 2017 10am– 4pm
Half Hour Long Blow Slots (Reservations Required)
Please RSVP by emailing [email protected]
Cost: $10 - All proceeds benefit the Alzheimer’s Glass and Iron Project
Description:
Families are encouraged to bring their children to this unique glass blowing event at Salem Art Works. The children will choose the colors for their personalized memory bubbles and sit at the bench and assist the Alzheimer’s glass blowers. After the gaffer (the main glass blower) blows out the glass bubble, the children will whisper the memory they wish to capture forever into the glass. Their favorite memory will forever be encapsulated by the glass as it chills from a molten 2,300 degrees into a solid form and the child will have a wonderful and unique keepsake. The children’s memory bubbles will be available the next day, in SAW Office, for pick up.
Cotton and close toed shoes required for the workshop. No synthetic clothing allowed in the glass shop for safety reasons (jeans and cotton t-shirts are ideal). Safety glasses will be provided at the event.
Instructors: Elise Betrus, Rosemarie Oakman, Maria Bentley, Haley Jelinek

Past Workshops:
Children's Cast Iron Memory Workshops: 2014, 2015
In these hour long children’s activity being held at multiple libraries throughout Washington County NY, the Alzheimer’s Glass and Iron volunteer team will be reading the Children’s Book “What’s Happening to Grandpa?” by Maria Shiver, supplied by the Alzheimer’s Association. We will then have a group discussion about memory, while enjoying a snack. The children will be given a relief scratch block made out of sand that they can carve into. We ask that the children represent something of their own memory in the scratch block. The scratch blocks will be poured in iron on June 27th 2015 as part of an Alzheimer’s Iron pour going on at Salem Art Works. The children will be able to watch their relief carvings turned into a cast iron block using metal poured at 2200 degrees by trained professionals.
