Yesterday I pulled cane - helped Steve (the technician) is actually more accurate as he did all the hard work, and it is very demanding. Unfortunately, I didn't think of asking anyone to take a picture of me at the pulling stage, when you are both madly twisting a long string of clear glass with white glass rods in it and walking backwards keeping it up from the ground. The whole thing ended up about 12 metres. Then you chop it quickly into lengths and pile it into the lehr to anneal. Now this is seriously exciting! Anyone who knows me, is aware of my passion for opaque twist wineglasses. Thanks, Steve.
