The great thing about working a part-time job is that I find myself very focused on my time off.

And I have money for classes.

Today I went to work at a friend’s house.  She has all the accoutrements for working in glass, set up and ready to go.  She is in production mode for upcoming shows.  I have given her my ring saw to use, which expanded her possibilities.  I get to hangout and learn what she’s doing, as well as work on my own piece.  Which is what you see here.

This is going to eventually be a bowl:  one fuse fire and a slump away from finished.

My intent was to take a picture before I put the clear glass on top but I forgot (l00ks like sugar doesn’t it?).  So it will simply have to remain a mystery until a share the finished piece.  It will be my first functional glass piece.  I am excited!
