A productive week

As I stood on a chair to get a better view of a Bulgarian glass artist pouring white-hot glass out of a ladle with a handle as long as the front door, I thought, 'I can't believe this is my working week.' He was demonstrating sandcasting, spooning glass into large moulds made out of black sand. All very sculptural -- I'll post pictures when they are polished.
What with the cane-pulling on Monday, good booty at glass-blowing evening classes, and helpful feedback on my design for a 'comma' of lenses (no that's not a collective noun), I've had a good week. Even went to a pleasingly grubby house-clearance auction in Kidderminster (no trophies, though).
