Those are pretty cool. My wife, son, and I were in Corning back in
1999. The glass factor was a highlight. Do they still have the
observation room where they make a piece of blown glass for the
visitors to watch, and then destroy at the end of the demonstration?
IIRC Hershey was near by also, the chocolate town.

Being a woodworker and engineer, I think you’d be fascinated by the
Forest Canopy Walk at the VIN’s Nature Center in Quechee, VT. An
amazing combination of form and function. The view from the Tree
House is stunning.

I’m not a fan of heights, but I could not pass up the chance to
crawl out onto the spider web.

My daughter lived in Rutland for a few years. School Social Worker
during the week, ski instructor at Killington on weekends. Not a bad
gig.

You can watch a live stream of the Hot Shop during normal "open" hours.
https://www.museumofglass.org/hot-shop-livestream
The last time I was there, (5-6 years ago?) we sat in a small auditorium
and watched a demonstration that included blowing, stretching, curling, etc. They kept talking about how they had to be very careful not to let the piece cool too much before sticking it back in the furnace to reheat it.
So they pulled it out, did some stuff to it, put it back in, pulled it out, did stuff,
put it back, etc. etc. Then they put it back it in and it literally exploded as soon
as it passed through the glory hole. The main presenter calmly turned around and said "And that's what happens if you wait too long."
They started over again and in few minutes had created a beautiful glass sculpture.

Well, since it's ~24 hours from Houston to Corning, I guess the additional
3 hours to get to Hershey could be considered "near by". ;-)

I think there are 2 "hot glass" theatres
where glass blowing is demonatrated.
The piece is given away at the end by raffle.
