Beautiful pieces!

[TennesseeAquarium]

They are even more impressive when seen in person. The team creating the pieces often experiences a disappointing breakage in the process.

Very cool! Hope this will still be there when we visit in October!

[TennesseeAquarium]

The Powell Works will be here when you visit in October. They are spectacular.

being a large scale glassblower myself, lemme tell ya, its enough to make you sob and question your sanity sometimes, but when it all works... its so worth it

I have a glass piece blown by Mr. Powell. I bought it from the son of a personal friend of his, when I attended the University of Kentucky in 1997. He was given the piece as a birthday present and sold it to me when Mr. Powell gave him a new glass piece to use. it's priceless to me.
