Visitors to The Corning Museum of Glass are often curious about how we do what we do here at the Museum. Who takes care of all that fragile glass in the collection? How often do you have to dust? How do you move glass objects without breaking them? Where did the gaffers learn to make glass (and do they ever burn themselves)? How can I learn more about the artist who made my favorite piece? And who is that friendly, tall American gentleman translating the Hot Glass Show in Mandarin?!
