    Default I haven't posted my work in years

    I haven't posted my glass in years as I haven't been able to blow glass . in January I took it upon myself to build a new shop after a long hiatus. So here's some videos of my most recent work.

    I like the fumed one the best.

    I often channel your name when I am doing something large by hand, it helps focus

    Nice , I have always like the look of your work.

    One thing I always notice is the marbles and or marble techs used in hollow work .


    Outside work on connection points etc.

    Glad you got a shop going again .

    For that, I stick to the saying " too many cooks spoil the broth". It's applicable in so many circumstances.
