Alien or lifeform?

We attended Bethlehem's first Friday tonight at the Banana Factory.

After visiting the art gallerys, we watched the very talented glass blowers for a while. Each time we attend first Friday (it's held every first Friday of each month) we always enjoy watching this incredible display of artistry. But we have not been there when they have finished working on the project. We were surprised when one of the guys dressed in this alien-like suit and positioned himself under the vase. The vase was then "tapped" off the blowing rod and the guy caught it and transferred it to the finishing
kiln. So fun!!

Do you recognize these eyes?
