Glass Blowing Class 2

After my success in the first class, I decided to sign up for level two. Here I am shaping a vase with some wet newspaper...

Swinging hot molten glass at the end of a long metal pole- very exciting!

Shaping a bowl with the jacks...

More shaping...

Me blowing into the pipe...

Me at the glory hole getting my glass hot!

All in all, it was a very educational experience and I'm very pleased I got to cross something off my bucket list. Not sure if I have what it takes to be a glass blower, but I have a couple of glass flowers and lopsided bowls that I'm very happy with!
