Glass Blowers Party

Drove to Foci, a great place to sequester during a nice winter storm. Snow covered roads demanded some creative lane finding on the crowded interstates. Good way to get the juices flowing.

Saw some excellent and fun pieces done by Nolan Prohaska, Andy Shea, Mark Hall. Nolan brought his posse but needed even a few more assistants (total of 6 people actively working the piece!). The branches were scraping around the inside of the glory hole. Go big or go home.

The kegs of Bell’s Two Hearted and Summit EPA encouraged creativity and a freewheeling atmosphere. Exactitude has left the studio. Earlier efforts set us up for a rambunctious piece by Robinson Scott. He had some early struggles making a glass sword. Dropped the hilt, recovered. Dropped again, and again. Abandoned only to have Al Honn and others jump into the breach. Eventually, Robin cooled off and returned to fashion a nice blade. It all culminated in a stunning display of vitricide. Robinson “excalibured” Todd’s sacrificial vase. * Video is BIG MB, you better have BROADband. *

Or, the finished product.

Though I and my skill set felt about six inches tall, it was great to see some top talent in some wild sessions.
