Blowing glass is just like blowing bubbles, sort of. This fish flask is used to leading a school (she is a fish, after all!) so she’ll teach you all about Roman glassblowing and ancient apprenticeships—as well as the importance of creativity and kindness. This podcast uses episode-specific artwork. If you don’t see an image of the fish flask with this episode, you may have to turn on this setting in your podcast app. For a listening guide, a coloring sheet, images, and more, visit getty.edu/podcasts/if-objects-could-talk/ (https://www.getty.edu/podcasts/if-objects-could-talk/).
