This past Sunday I took a glass blowing survey class at the Bay Area Glass Institute.
Large scale (‘hot shop’) glass work has always been very appealing to me because of the parallels it shares with my canvas pieces:
You choose ‘what’ you’re making, you decide ‘why,’ you plan ‘how,’ but then you have to release into the actual act of creation and accept that what will happen is not always what you thought. You have to accept the organic results within the more rigid process and adapt to them.
I made 2 ‘sample’ pieces at the survey that I’ve posted shots of below and will definitely be taking another, more comprehensive class soon!
