Going to the Wimberly Glass Works turned out to be quite an experience, since at first I thought I was going to see the Gallery of the store only. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had an area connected to the gallery where the glassmakers worked.

When I crossed the threshold into the workarea, I notice that they had set up seating area for guests to see how these beautiful glass artworks are made. Of course, with camera in hand, I quickly got a spot that allowed me to take some pictures of this process.

I took so many pictures that I had to figure out whether to upload them individually or do something else. I then realized as I was scrolling through them that hey, I can make this into a still video. Extactly what I did.

I made to version one at 10MB size and the other at 37MB size. It’s never the same as in person but at least it gives you an idea. I hope you’ll enjoy the footage. It’s about 3 minutes long.

Here is the large (37 MB) version of the file, in mpg format: Wimberley-MPG
Here is the small (10 MB) version of the file, in wmv format: Wimberley-WMV

(Ron says: If you’re a Windows user, stick with the WMV. It’s grainer, but it starts streaming right away. You’ll probably have to sit an wait for the gigantic MPG to download.)
