Who knew that soda, ash, calcium, and silica would make such a lasting combination? From windows to architecture and art, glass does it all. Jenna Efrein of Hudson Beach Glass will give an overview of this ubiquitous material in liquid and solid forms.
Talks will be held at 5:15, 6:15, and 7:15 p.m.
After you learn about the makeup of glass, see it as a super hot liquid during live demonstrations at the nearby Hudson Beach Glass studio, 26 S. Strawberry Street.
CHF's newest exhibit, Marvels and Ciphers: A Look Inside the Flask,and the permanent exhibit, Making Modernity, will be open for viewing.
CHF joins over 40 Old City museums, galleries, and shops in opening its doors from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for First Friday.
