Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

The Kentucky Glass Art

By Mercie Hallow

Art glass is a decorative piece of art that is made through the art of blowing into it. It can be achieved through the use of a long glass blower with a molten and pliable glass attached at the end of it. The glass blower then blows directly through the instrument until air reaches the molten glass forming a huge bubble. Glass blowers are certified and skilled glass crafters who are well known for producing fine pieces of art through glass. A glass working station is quite hot because of the temperature in the furnace that is used to melt glass.

The Glassworks Gallery in Louisville, Kentucky is open to aficionados, enthusiasts and glass collectors. They are open to share their wonderful art glass works. The gallery holds hands-on classes for people to experience for themselves the wonder of making glass through glass blowing technique. Glass blowing technique has been around for sometime and was considered as the universal way of achieving glass art.

Colored art glass is also achieved through the use of glass blowing technique. As of the moment, there are no known hazards or incidents the technique cause even to those who are using it for many years already. It is imperative to follow proper procedures to ensure safety of the glass blower. To ensure proper and safe workstation, a glass blower especially a beginner at that is encouraged to wear and observe proper uniform and protective gears.

The work station in glass works is hot and humid owing to the furnace that is used to melt glass. The Glassworks activity in Kentucky also features art glass making for beginners where they are presented with small colored chips of glass that they can play with.

If youre visiting in Kentucky, dont forget to visit Glassworks and be amazed at the creative ways one can do with a piece of glass!
