I went to a glassblowing demo/festival recently.  While not blacksmithing, it was interesting to see them working as a team as blacksmiths sometimes do.  And with fire....  I love watching talented people do what they do.  The first demo they made a human heart of all things.  I tried to get a photo of it but they shoved it right into an oven too fast.  I wanted to ask about slumping glass into metal but didn't learn much.   It was at an artist colony and they offer a (too) basic blacksmithing class, but plan to expand on that in the future, so I'm keeping an eye on them.

Was this at Penland?  I've blown glass down there in years past.  Sorry you missed the final product viewing, but it has to get into the annealer before it cools too far or it will likely crack.

  Latticino, it was at a place called Starworks in Star, NC.  It's a small place but they have a gallery/giftshop and workshops.  Thanks, I did not know it had to get in the  annealer so fast.  I was expecting them to hold it up for us to see.  There was quite a lot of people there, I'm going back, they hold regular events.

For those of us who can't make it to a place that does live demonstrations, the Corning Museum of Glass has a great YouTube channel showing some of theirs. 

  You can watch them live streaming too, I see.  Also a great website.  Thanks for pointer to Corning Museum of Glass.
