Urban Glass & Tiffany Windows
of Brooklyn Bus Trip
On April 20, 2006 in conjunction with The Long Island Museums, we traveled to Brooklyn Heights to watch glassblowers in action at Urban Glass, home of the oldest and largest public access glassblowing facility. Raymond Kluytenaar also lead us on an informative tour of churches in Brooklyn Heights that house Tiffany windows and explained some of the history behind them.
