I flew to Corning, New York to have a workshop at The studio of The Corning Museum of Glass. Corning is one of my hometowns where I gain my glass career. The first visit was to attend 31st GAS (Glass Art Society) annual conference in 2001. Since then, I have been visited museum occasionally as a student, teaching assistant, resident artist, and instructor. The exhibition, The Marine Invertebrate Glass Models of Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, was displayed during my stay. The scientifically accurate ocean models were sculpted in glass by Braschka family in the 19th century. The glass objects affected me with wonder in form and beauty of nature.
