WAUSAU (WAOW) -- If you're searching for a fun and free activity, look no further than Wausau.
This week the Woodson Art Museum is featuring an exhibit call Wrapped In Glass.
Students from Southern Illinois University brought their mobile hot-glass studio to demonstrate the glassblowing process.
The narrated demos give people information about the unique art form and the glassblowers say they get a great response.
Glassblower Cortney Boys says, "They're usually pretty amazed. You'll hear a lot of oohs and aahs and clapping and they're just so happy to be able to see this in person."
The demonstrations are tied in with the museum's Wrapped In Tradition exhibit, which features glass art displays.
On weekdays, there are seven demos on the hour starting at 9 a.m. and five demos on the hour starting at noon on weekends.
