Today was a tough day at the studio. This new glass we got in is very different. It's SO much better but there is a learning curve. I ended up breaking about 3 of the 5 pieces I made. I only got 2 into the annealer to get out tomorrow. I'll be able to make Phil and Mason's pieces tomorrow or next weekend so no worries. With the new glass, I put two trials per piece type until I moved on otherwise I wouldn't get to experiment as much with how this new stuff moves. It's a lot stickier and it stay hotter longer. It's much softer. I think it's better glass and I'll be able to make bigger and lighter bowls with it.
This was the only nice one that made it out today though. It's a big one because I was fed up with breaking smaller pieces. I had to get something nice out. We'll see how big once it's cold. (I was so exhausted by the time they took this picture):
You should get in the bartending business.
