Glassmaking originated in Mesopotamia in the third millennium B.C. and evolved through a long process of cross-cultural circulation and borrowing, as well as the innovations of individual workshops. Inspired by objects that trace the technical progression of glassmaking on display in the exhibition “Drink That You May Live”: Ancient Glass from the Yale University Art Gallery, this live demonstration invites visitors to explore and learn basic techniques of modern-day glassblowing. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition “Drink That You May Live”: Ancient Glass from the Yale University Art Gallery.
