Brent is blowing a vase. Standing on the bench so the piece will strech a bit as he blows. He heats. Strech. Heat. Blow.
Notice he does keep it centered.

Classes
I just finished up the intermediate level class offered at Blue Sage Studios through the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. It was a great session. Five weeks for five hours on Saturdays. They did great. It is really something to see the progress being made. Good stuff.

Answers to Questions
The Enclamo piece is just the way you described on the comments Gnat. It makes it very easy to creat the look of the enclamo without having to go through the knock of the the pieces. You get a good result.
Th Gott Shelf liner is great. the Graphite is a good quality and it works well. If you have pieces with jagged bottoms it can tear but with care it lasts a good long time. I have been very pleased. You can get it at Alan's site www.northernheat.ca or Hub consolidated glass stuff. If you call Alan tell him I said hello and I do recommend the 10" x10" pieces instead of the large piece of graphite. This is also a bit better on shipping.
On the new blocks. I have not yet made an order. Guy is making a trough style. I think this looks really good if you were making tumblers. I plan on ordering and trying one out soon.

Peek a Boo
When in Rome
This is a roman foot in the process of being formed. It creates a special foot on the piece. It involves really tapering the bubble and thinning the glass at the base and then jacking while blowing and then sucking out the bubble to get the foot to seal against the base of the vessel body.
Keep it Centered my friends.

Enclamo Mugs
Here are a couple of Enclamo style mugs we made with Bruce. Very cool indeed. This is really a neat way to get some cool effects. Just blow a tube. Blow out the tip. Drop a solid piece of color on top. blow it out. Add a clear top. Transfer. Close the bottom. Encase in clear. Blow to size. Transfer to open the lip. Add a handle. Easy Peazy.

Many thanks to our friend Bruce. He has been most gracious in his teaching and grace at the studio over the past week. It is indeed a pleasure. We will be working on Thursday evening if anyone is interested in dropping by the studio and watching us work. Last week 12 folks showed up to watch and participate in a marathon glass blowing session that went until midnight. Great fun is to be had by all and as Bruce says, "Find yourself some fun!"
