Glassblowing – Week 5

This week went much better than last. Our normal teacher was back thank goodness. We made a bit more than last week. We learned how to wrap coils of glass around larger objects.

I took a lot more pics this week. I got a few good ones. A closeup of Doug blowing hiw own blow pipe and one of him dressed up light an astronaut. There’s a bunch of gear you need to put on when you put the piece of finished glass into the oven because it is so hot. There’s gloves, hat, and jacket. Some people don’t wear the jacket but I always do.

Only one more class to go! Here’s a pic of the lame stuff we made last week. Click on it to see the rest.
