Toni Gerlach, proprietor of Mind Blown Studio at 73 Sherman St in Deadwood, SD, invited us to a shop tour/demonstration on Feb 1, 2024. The weather was perfect and the demonstrations were amazing. Thanks Toni, and Nick, for inviting us, for taking time to show us your shop/lab/studio, and for giving a super presentation of the some of the techniques and tools used to make items from glass today. Thank you for hosting, and for answering our questions today!
