This weekend in Logan, UT

Explore the art of lampworking in a guided, three-hour experience focused on creating glass marbles. Lampworking is a form of glassblowing that uses a propane and oxygen torch to heat and shape glass, and with proper safety practices it is a safe and enjoyable craft. All tools and materials are provided, and the glass used is borosilicate, commonly known as Pyrex. Participants will create at least two basic marbles, with the possibility of making more if time allows, and individual results will vary. Finished pieces are kiln annealed to strengthen the glass and will be ready for pickup on the next business day.

A nonconference showdown between the Troy Trojans and Utah State Aggies arrives in Logan at Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium.

Expect the outcome to turn on battles at the line of scrimmage, momentum swings in the kicking game, and pivotal choices in the closing minutes.
