Re: What item got you into glass
I realised the other day that I've been doing glass for over 20 years now ... I stopped counting at 12 and for the last 8 years my standard answer to "how long?" was "12 years" ... meh, getting older is no fun ... but glass is!
For me it's not so much of a question of what got me into it, but who got me into it. Simple answer is that glass has been in my family for a long time and like a good traditional glass family my father taught me. He was a sick-ass scientific glass instrument maker and took me as his apprentice. In the end, sci wasn't for me, though, but the gift he gave me with his knowledge and teaching I wouldn't exchange for anything in the world. Now he's gone and I miss him a lot, but he's with me every day and in every piece I make.
Thanks, Dad!
