Glassmaker's Supper in Brierley Hill













I was invited to this supper -- food all cooked in the kilns -- and it was really nice to see old friends and renew glass contacts at the IGC. Two courses were running all week and Bill Gudenrath demonstrated Venetian blowing techniques working all on his own. It was electrifying. What skill! I'd spent the day making a few more goblets in Martin Andrews' workshop with Damien. Was just getting back into the flow of it when I had to stop. Still, 2 reasonable drinking glasses resulted. And I took home some boxes of cullet to play about with in my kiln (still not used yet).
