Tonight, my friend and mentor Carrie Barnett took me to Neusole Glassworks for a two hour glass blowing workshop. We spent the first hour listening to the process and observing others make paper weights. After the first hour, the class was divided and her and I were alone with an instructor. We explained that we are both in visual arts and education and would LOVE to touch the work, to dip the glass, to put it into the heat, to roll it in color and to form it! We got our wish and got hot in the process, working with a material we were both unfamiliar with. Below are photos of us making the work, stay tuned for the final product (we have to wait for them to properly cool and be filed before we can pick them up so that will come later but I wanted to share this now!)
