Some of our VHS Art students in Mr. Webb's class traveled to Dallas on Wednesday and toured a glass blowing facility there. The trip was put together by the Arts Council in Wichita Falls. At the facility, the students -- with a little help -- were able to make their own original blown glass designs. They also created a glass butterfly that will be on permanent display in a public library.
