A life in glass

    From the Niagara Falls Review:

    Watching Angelo Rossi work is like walking in on a magic show. Things happen before your eyes you aren’t quite sure of.

    For instance, a few twists and turns and the glowing orange ball at the end of the steel pipe he’s holding starts to change. When he sticks it into a furnace heated to 2,400 F, the ball comes out bigger.

    He dips it in some colourful sprinkles and for a second it looks like an ice cream cone. Then it bends and contorts and melts into something else altogether, until he’s happy with the “hurricane” effect he was looking for.

    Be sure to check out this article. Apparently the Rossi Glass location in Pyramid Place is his former location, but he had a falling out with his partners and they kept his name. He’s now working adjacent to Souvenir City.
