James Mongrain is an American artist who dedicated his life to glass. To create this dragon, James teamed up with the Corning Museum of Glass‘ team and together they explored traditional Venetian and Italian forms. “A lot of [my] animals come from traditional Venetian goblets,” James said. “They always have these little dolphins and swans, sea horses, and dragons, so I started making them larger and sticking them on the outsides of vessels. I think this one turned out pretty good.”

The Corning Glass Museum is right down the highway from me. If you ever have a chance to go dont miss it. They have a gallery where you can watch gaffers make glass art pieces. There is glass art from around the world on display and some very cool hands on activities for kids and adults.
I would LOVE to see it. As a child we frequently visited Disneyland, where they had glass blowers on Main Street. I used to be mesmerized by it.
