These are some of the high school artists, from Sumner Academy, to whom we’re going to teach the art of blowing glass.  With them is their teacher, Mary Sit.  The kids will also participate in the huge glass sculpture we’ll be installing at Sprint Center this week.

Sumner Academy is in Kansas City, KS.  Around here, this is often considered the poor stepsister of KC, MO–like Jersey is to Manhattan.  Are the kids there as talented as kids anywhere else?  You’d better believe it.  Are we going to prove that?  You’d better believe it.  Besides, look how excited they are, and we haven’t even started yet.
