Can I make a jellyfish, turtle, or any other glass item sold in the gallery?

All of the pieces we have in our shop have taken the glassblowers years to learn how to make, so they are not something we can offer for the Make Your Own class. The object of the class is to experience glassblowing with lots of help from a highly skilled glassblower (because it is not something that can easily be done in the first few attempts- it takes years to build the skills required to pull off even the simplest pieces.) Therefore, no one should try to replicate an exact piece or design as all glass items turn out uniquely different even for an experienced glassblower- which is part of the beauty of this art form.
