While working and finishing her bachelor’s degree from Pennsylvania State University, Hayley Ninnis still finds time to pursue a variety hobbies and interests. One of Hayley Ninnis’ interests is glassblowing, and she has taken glassblowing courses at East Fall Glassworks.
Glassblowing involves molten glass being molded and shaped into vessels and other forms using air that is blown through a long metal pipe on a molten blob of glass. Glassblowing did not appear until 50 BC. Prior to that, glass vessels were made with a form in which the molten glass would be shaped. The molten glass was then cooled, and the form was removed. After the glassblowing process was developed as we know it today, it became easier and faster to create glass vessels. East Falls Glassworks is located in a textile mill from the 19th century in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is now a complex with a growing art community. There are over 40 art studios featuring painters, sculptors, and artists who use other glass work techniques.
