The art of glassblowing goes back to before 500 B.C., but Vetro Glassblowing Studio and Gallery in Grapevine is keeping that magic alive.

"It literally is a dance of  glass that occurs.  You have a vision of what you want it to be, but often time the glass has its own sort of vision,  you just have to follow its lead" said Founder of Vetro Glassblowing Studio and Gallery David Gappa.

You can sit on bleachers in the studio and watch the team of artists create sculptures, designs or even Christmas ornaments.

"During our Christmas ornament season, we create thousands of Christmas ornaments which range from $25 to $35 dollars that allow all walks of life to kind of be a part of our world" David added.
