The Glass Creatures of the Sea

Created in the 1800’s by the father and son team of Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, the glass models of invertebrates housed at the Grant Museum are a unique blend of art, science and craftsmanship. Join Natural History Museum Curator Miranda Lowe and scientific glassblower Stephen Ramsey as they explore the importance and use of these scientifically accurate and incredibly beautiful models. In a live glass-blowing demonstration we’ll uncover some of the glass making techniques used to create these intricate pieces of glass over 100 years ago. The talk followed by a free wine reception and a private view of Glass Delusions. This event is part of the Glass Delusions exhibition event series. The event is free and there is no need to book
