This is an image I took from a glass blowing presentation at Wimberley Glassworks in Wimberley Texas. They were showing how they make pieces of their new collection called dragon scale vases.
San Diegan and Master Glass Blower Kathleen Mitchell savors the physical aspect of working and communing with molten glass, which she describes as challenging but earthy.
She currently produces her furnace work at her private studio at the Bread & Salt Center for the Arts in the Barrio Logan neighborhood of San Diego. Kathleen is an instructor of both glassblowing and lamp working at her private studio.

Glassblowing is a spectacular craft that continues to captivate all ages. Moulding the hot, viscous substance demands fire, skill, raw muscle power and years of experience.

(68/365) The final result of all the glassblowing effort is this colorful mug. It ended up a bit larger than intended, holding around 20 fl oz (see the next shot for how it holds a 12 oz beer). This is not precisely how I envisioned things when starting, but it is reasonably close, and I do like how it came out.
And the last photo in the series, this shows the mug in use. This is a 12 oz bottle of beer, in its entirety. This will hold a lot of beer. Not a bad thing. NB, the beer is Alamo Pilsner, from the San Antonio Brewing Co. It is highly recommended.
"I breathe new life into the old craft."

Went to visit the glassblowing shop in Kjalarnes, the only one of its kind in Iceland I believe. I love watching glass blowers at work.
The Seaform Pavilion, a glass ceiling filled with 2,364 bits and pieces of glass highlights the Chihuly Bridge of Glass, Tacoma.
After all the color pieces have been added and the blob reheated, I used a huge tweezer to pull and twist the outer layer of glass into a series of streaks and swirls. Then the next step is to reheat and smooth things out. [more tomorrow]
These are the granules of colored glass used to create the various colors in the pieces. This red is one of the ones I used, the rest are for others' projects.

Now it's tome to blow the glass. Here I am forcing air into the blob while the instructor shapes it (and lets me know when to start and stop). Once it gets to the proper size he does a bit more shaping
