Week 9 at Farnham

Have dropped my camera, so no pictures this week. But nothing to show anyway. I've spent all available time in the hot shop practising and practising. Why don't I just give up now and turn to something I could be good at? I don't know. But I am making some sort of progress; my set up of the bubble is decidedly improved. And if I am not getting anything into the lehr, it's partly because I have become more discerning and more prepared to throw away a piece when I can see it's going to be no good. At Brierley, there was some pressure to bang on to the end and box it because otherwise you would lose your turn. So what I am doing now is a bit like practising scales.
