Leo Ward, revered for his boundless talent, is rightfully associated foremost with his Original Bluebird of Happiness, a beautiful glass bird that has charmed over 5 million people for the last 20 years. Visitors are invited to watch artisans gather hot glass from a 2,000 degree furnace and shape it into the famous bluebird - seven days a week, 9 to 5.
There is no one quite like Leo Ward. First a wordsmith,
then glass artist,
he went on to build a village called Terra from a modest 10 acres
into a 130-acre hamlet that employs 30 and enchants
thousands.
Ever the teacher, Leo coaches
Terra glass artist Gary Carter.
It's not every husband who builds his wife
a Terrarium to house her Endangered Species from
Other Worlds. Guests delight in exploring this
enchanted cave - and invariably squeal
upon discovery of the sequestered "throne room."
