Blowing

Not a bad paraison (shape of the bubble of hot glass at the end of the iron) and a convincing-looking cut-in. It's the last week of the second term and I had a bit of a break-through in the last 2 days of term. There's a unit of the course that involves making a scent bottle to a set design. We've been told none of us is good enough yet. I'm not saying I am, but three of us had a go at it and I was beginning to get the idea to the surprise of the tutor. If I'd had a whole afternoon doing one after another, I would have managed it. And next evening, I made another latticino bowl -- the largest thing I have made. But I won't see the result until next term.

This blog will now go quiet till 18 April.
