Janet, you gave me the courage to post some pictures of a class I took a couple of weeks ago. Love the color in your little piece. While visiting our youngest son in Vermont I was able to take an impromptu glass blowing glass. What fun! But I sure am glad I don't do THIS for a living - give me a torch any day!
gathering the glass - my arm & face got so red
rolling on the marver (table)
pinching to make the neck of a vase
blowing to make a bubble
The end result was one broken vase on the floor
and one, clear really big sort of shot glass thingy, or a really really short vase depending on how you look at it. But it was totally fun.
