Yesterday we went to the spring open house to The Crucible, an industrial and fine arts non-profit located in a 54,000 sq ft. building in West Oakland. It's pretty much what we thought -- every imaginable art form tucked away in a different corner: ceramics, blacksmithing, glass blowing, neon sculpture, jewelry making, arc welding, wood working, robotics, etc. We wanted to see what struck the kids imagination, and while Julie seemed to jump right in, Nate was more wary until it came to the glass blowing exhibit where we saw a team blowing glass into a metal sculpture. I'm hoping they both want to attend a summer camp, but if not, Gina and I will try our hand at something there.
