Artists' talks at ZeST

I called the talk I gave 'Serendipity and happy accident', which is my theme song at the moment. I said how making glass jewellery for this show came about by a series of happy accidents. Also said how the four bowls on display came about, and -- now I am doubting myself here, but it was corroborated later -- the owner said of the top one that he had been in glass a long time and this was one of the most beautiful, painterly bowls he had ever seen. If only someone else would think that enought to buy it! Although I really want to keep it myself, the affirmation of a stranger stumping up real money would mean such a lot.
This one has lots of potential for optical effects. Can't wait to try this again, but where and how?
