Here we are at MJR Furnaces at the weekend helping Charlie and Tina cast some blocks for their glass quilt -- inspired by a fabric quilt -- inspired by The Gerkin. I don't look as if I was helping, but I was 'baby-sitting' the cast pieces as they cooled (tamping the moulds up and down on the marver) and opening the lehr door to put them away. Vita is filming. Quilter in the background. Interesting little tips learned, including one about sand-casting resist that I am not allowed to divulge. Interesting the recipe secracy that still goes on amongst crafstpersons.
