Glass artist Darren Goodman brought his traveling furnace to the school on Monday to demonstrate his skills in glass blowing and shaping. Goodman has traveled the world sharing his glass experience, and he wants people to have an appreciation for the material and how it can represent what individuals go through.

Some days it can get hot at the Auglaize County Fair, but that is nothing compared to the hot art being created by Mobile Glass Studios. The 2,000-degree furnace is helping the glassblower create some unique and creative pieces at the fair. Mobile Glass Studios goes from coast to coast doing demonstrations at fairs of this centuries-old craft. Then the pieces they create goes up for auction to benefit those same fairs. The what makes this fun for the glass blowers is the suggestions they get from people who watch them work.
