Ready to Pour at the Hot Spot Theater


Now I'm standing with Sharaya next to a glass blowing furnace. Inside it, heated to 2,500 degrees, is volcanic cinder and borax. Because of the high heat, the cinder and borax melted and poured out like warm honey into that triangular-shaped tray. Then it quickly cooled to room temperature and turned into glass. Wow! It's a great place to visit.
