The Fall is Here

Lincoln is home from blowing glass at Pilchuck glass School . The tourist season is slowing down.
We are getting ready for our fall line up.
Craft show this weekend- Sept 12& 13- Nugget Mall.

ALSO- I am teaching a glass and pottery class at the Canvas- starts this Thursday 6:30-8:30- Jewelry Fusion- should be fun.

Home and Back to Work!

I am home and busy in our studio and at my teaching job at the Canvas. I am thinking about doing some weekend days at the new Juneau Artists Market (JAM) at the JACC.
And of Course - You can always find our work at the Juneau Artists Gallery.

The last 2 days!!!

We are down to our last 2 days of class! It was so amazing to spend time with my mentor and to really focus on work in the cold shop! We are all drained and tired.
Above is an engraving I did.

Below work I did with Martin Rosol.

The Studio provides a professional photographer at the end of the session. It's been a good day.

Now time to pack and get ready to head across the country.

At the count down

There are only four working days left here at the Studio (Corning Glass Museum). It's been a productive trip and my brain is full.

Above is my starter block of optical glass laminated together with colored Hextal. The glass is all clear so the light transfers the color of the pigmented adhesive through the shape of the block.

Above is my teacher working on a piece. We are using diamond and stone wheels to remove glass and shape our objects.

Above is my piece after I took it to the saw! I need to get a picture of the final piece!

Above is the engraving lathe I have been using- I loved the saline drip bag for a water source! Very Funny!

Above is the first piece I worked on last week.......I need so much more paractice on the engraving lathe! Yikes!
