What better way to celebrate 4/20 than by creating the world’s largest bong?
That’s exactly what Jason Harris and a group of glassblowing artists from around the country prepared to do Friday at a rented studio in South Lake Union, beginning a three-day process of blowing what will ultimately yield a 24-foot tall, 800-pound bong.
“We’re making super-massive, surreal bongs,” said Jason Harris of Jerome Baker Designs, who organized the massive blow. “We have a team of glass blowers here. Fifteen people are here. Everybody has a position and everybody works with hot glass.
“Happy 4/20, everybody,” he said.
The team was not actually blowing the world’s largest bong on Friday. Instead, they were blowing a couple of 8- to 9-foot, 90-pound bongs as a warmup to what will be a colossal effort on Saturday and Sunday to create the 800-pound giant. Once done, the record-breaking bong will be shipped in pieces to Las Vegas and put together at the Cannabition museum in the downtown Las Vegas Arts District.
