making the cut DSC03567aw

Nicely done.  I like the color tones and comp.

Your documentary is well done and interesting.  I understand the process of glass blowing but am still amazed how they do it... Mike

Thanks Bill and Mike,

I appreciate your interest- it is amazing how this all works out. I think the main guy has been doing this for over 30 yrs.

Greg, having spent some time in a couple of hot shops, I find this image very engaging and explicatory. Particularly as a story-telling image. The action view with all the tools lined up is very good. I like it better than the previous one, in that we have full faces and discernible action. I know how dark a hot shop can be, so this is well captured and presented. Did they blow the main piece inside a mold?

David,

I'm pretty sure the main part is a solid, not blown, piece formed by twirling and forming. They do many "standard" pieces with molds as well as  one of a kinds just blown.
