Burning House Toile

Love this adaptation of a toile

First day of blogging

Well, this is my first day using my new toy.
Very sore after blowing for the last couple of days - but hopefully I will get one wobbly tumbler at least. Stevie is a great teacher and great fun to work with.
Everyone was captivated yesterday by Rob blowing his big "eye" bowl - it was hot, hard work and very BIG! Photos to follow very soon. Today we have an artist demo and Kirsties class this afternoon - the highlight of the week.

Matt Szoz - Glass Inflating!

We had a very fast but impressive demo from American glass artist Matt Szoz today. Matt heats up layers of glass and thinfire paper in the kiln and then inflates them in a matter of seconds with compressed air to make different shapes - great fun to watch.
