Glassblowing Work
As I’ve been doing glassblowing more and more, I’ve been able to control what I’m making a little bit better than when I first started. Also, some of the fundamentals like gathering, putting in a jack line, getting the feel for how hot the glass needs to be, etc. have become more understandable.
Some pictures of process from this/last week, as well as the first cup I ever made:

Glassblowing

- Glass Shop
Today was the first day that I was able to get into the glass shop and practice the fundamental skills we were taught last week in class.. I guess in my excitement for the new course and the skills I’ll be learning I wanted to post some pictures Chris and I took today during our work session this morning.
Since Chris commutes to class and works during weekends, we had to make due with an early morning glass session. It’s hard to get up at 6:30 to get to school by 7:00 for our assigned out-of-class work slot, but I’m confident it will be worth it. Besides, once you get in front of that furnace it’s hard to be tired..
Once we left our measly two hour time slot, we both wanted to go back immediately – it’s a lot of fun
Being that this is only my second post, it’s also my first attempt at linking images into the blog post.. Hopefully they smoothly upload and can be viewed by everyone, let me know what you think
