| This is Peter's studio where I was able to snap a few pictures during the Glass Blowing demonstration at his open house. The large furnace heats at 2400°F and the small furnace on the upper right heats to 2000°F. Tomorrow I'll show you a few photos of the steps in the process. |

ReplyDeleteVery-very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'll be here tomorrow for more of the story.
ReplyDeleteLove these photos, Kate, of an artist at work in the glory hole. For Julie, you can see the heat-protectant sleeve is quite important.

Did you teach him how to do this in the 8th grade? I havent seen someone do that since I was a kid at Silver Dollar City in Missouri.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to watch, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI am amazed by how glass is made. Glad you are back, how is your shoulder?
ReplyDeleteI've seen demos of glass-blowing and it always amazed me. Interesting that this fine artist was one of your students. I've often wondered where some of my better students ended up...would be fun to know...
ReplyDeleteI'm with Birdman, I'll be back for the next part of the process! That would be so fun to do.
ReplyDeleteThese artist are amazing. The patience they must have to create such beautiful pieces. I can wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteIt is always so interesting to watch this art being created. Sounds like a cozy place to be when it's snowy and cold outside.
ReplyDeleteI think its amazing that you are still in contact with a student from the 8th grade.
ReplyDeleteGlass blowing is so interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing his work.
What fun to see how one of your students turned out. Is this a hobby or does he make his living doing this?
ReplyDeleteWhen we were on our cruise this past summer the ship had a glass blowing exhibition on board...it was amazing!!! Three guys worked together, each one took a turn at being the artist, the helper, and the narrator...it was quite amazing...even more amazing that they would have all that equipment on board!!!
ReplyDeleteI love handblown glass and have visited glassblowers from time to time. It is fun, isn't it? I'll be back for the next installments.
ReplyDeleteI love to watch glass blowing! We watched some in a small factory in southern Sweden this past summer! I bought Anne a Finnish glass bird for Christmas (don't tell her!)
