my glassblowing session last week.


every week i have a four hour glassblowing session on friday afternoon. it feels like i haven't had a session dedicated to making only cups for quite some time, so last friday i did just that. these are the eleven cups i produced in those four hours.


and here are a few of the favorite ones from that group.



i really love the colours in this one. these canes were made when the studio was melting a furnace full of hot glass colour. this is a real treat for us glassblowers. now i have heaps of canes to use in these beautiful blue colours.



these two cups are made from some canes that a friend of mine was giving away beacuse he thought they were not good enough for him to use. i think they were too thin for his purposes. so i turned around and made two fo the nicest cups yet. i think the colour combos in these cups are really great. i will have to remember to ask what colours they were.



and finally a tall glass that uses some blue coloured canes from the furnace and some twisted fancy white canes. this glass just looks like it would be really nice to drink from. it certainly is nice to hold.
