Toronto's Harbourfront Centre, located on the Lake Ontario shore on Queens Quay, is a substantial cultural complex that hosts studios for visiting artists. On one particular visit in May of 2012 with friends, my attention was caught by the glassblowing studio of one of the artists-in-residence, watching as glass was superheated to the point of stretching like toffee and spun into solid forms.
