Glass blowing was sooo much better tonight. I went in not expecting too much out of myself and excepting I was new and wouldn't get it right away. To my lovely surprise I got the hang of it pretty quick this week. I gathered fairly well (a lot better than last week) and pleasantly surprised myself at what I was pulling off. Today we worked on blowing bubbles as well as making glasses. I am still working on size but I managed to get a shot type glass (the size was right in between a shot glass and a cup) and then a short cup. I was good with not having some huge glass and really proud of what I made. So far we haven't used color however next week we start on that as well as polishing and shaping so I am sure that will be a lot of fun too. Anyway, it was a really enjoyable class this week, not as stressful, not as many personal expectations, and more having fun. I only got a couple pictures but this is me at work as well as some of my class in the shop.
