Take 70 pounds of molten glass on the end of a blowpipe, lots of trial-an-error glassblowing sessions, and a team of highly skilled glassmakers, and see what happens! At The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass, a team of gaffers, led by George Kennard, have created the World's Largest Blown Glass Pumpkin.

  • Awesome! I visited Corning like 25 years ago and will never forget it.

    Do you guys train your lungs to be able to keep blowing? And if you inhale on the pipe is it bad news?

  • I think Steven Powell would be proud of you guys :P
