August 2008 - Glass Blowing Class

For my birthday my husband signed me up for a glass-blowing class at the Edge Gallery & Studio in Newport to make a glass float. I was impressed with his idea and thrilled to try a new medium! The picture above is the artist/teacher, Jeff, helping me pick out the colors of glass that I wanted to use.


Here we are working together to make the rounded shape for the float.

Here I am with my very first glass-blown project. I loved the experience as much as the results. The teacher was very patient and thorough. He let Spence and Rob in the studio area to watch, and even addressed them when explaining the process. I can't wait to go back!
