glass art at this blow-your-own glass studio a few blocks from the master's museum.
One-off sessions cost $85 to $125, or there are four-hour group or private lessons most
days. Alternatively, you can just watch the fascinating process (there's a cafe with a
viewing window overlooking the workshop).

2004 and 2010. They play at Key Arena in Seattle Center from May to September.
