Glass is all around us: from windows and mirrors, to phone screens and fiber optic cables.
This hour, we learn how glass helped shape our world, efforts to create different types of glasses, and what it's like to make art out of glass.
GUESTS:
- John Garrison: Professor at Grinnell College, and author of the book Glass.
- Alexis Clare: Professor of Glass Science at Alfred University.
