Blown as seen by evanrudemi

Last week my friend Adam and I took a five day course in glassblowing. This glass vessel is the final result of the course.

To be honest, it's not my first class. I enrolled in a class when I was in undergrad but I dropped it after the first day to make room for more 'me' time. I never took another glass glass after that. So, really, that doesn't count.

This is actually the fourth vessel I blew. The first two are pretty small and have the weight of a brick. The third piece I blew was coming out pretty impressive but I took to long to heat it up as I was blowing it and it shattered. This piece has me pretty excited and It's just in time for mum's birthday.

Clay is still and always will be my medium of choice however. I did have a great time learning the techniques. I am pretty certain I will register again and keep at it. I do enjoy having other skills to work with.
