High up in the green-clad mountains of a small, quirky state called Vermont, known to its inhabitants as VT, a group of extraordinary kids gather each weekend to dive into a world of glasswork. VT is not your everyday state. Oh no, sir! It's a place where moose play hopscotch, snowmen don ski suits, and maple syrup is considered a primary food group! These aren’t your average kids; they're the "Glasswork Gurus." Led by the hilariously eccentric and flamboyantly moustachioed character, Sir Fizzlepop, a former circus ringmaster with a sparkly top hat and a big, booming laugh that can shake the maple leaves off their branches. Sir Fizzlepop, with his monocle magnifying one eye, is as colorful as the glass pieces that he and his troop create. Each child has a special glassworking tool, funnier than the last. There's Sally, with her super-stretchy tong arms that can reach into the hottest kilns. Bobby, equipped with his bubble-blowing pipe that also doubles as a trumpet to announce snack time. Then there's little Timmy, who has his magical sand, which turns into glittering glass under his twinkling gaze. They create the most mind-boggling, eye-popping, jaw-dropping glass figurines that have ever been seen. From unicorns with curly tails to dragons breathing rainbows and even a sunflower wearing sunglasses. The creativity in VT is as boundless as Sir Fizzlepop's belly laughs. Watching over their artistic chaos is the ever-present and patient Mrs. Mapleleaf, coordinating the safety goggles and kiln mittens, ensuring everyone gets their share of maple syrup cookies and apple cider. This is life in VT for our Glasswork Gurus, a sparkling adventure each weekend, full of laughter, creativity, and plenty of sugary treats!
