Thank you! That is the profession which always mesmerized me. The miracle of glass making. I was asking for citizenship in small glass factory in Murano ten years ago, they did small colored stuff. Thank you for this memory. Have a nice week.
Great minds, BC! I've started a series and have several more glass blowers snaps scheduled for this coming week. It's such a wonderful art and so much fun to watch, right>!
I came over from Kate's blog today... I am a lampwork glass artist and have blown glass from a glory hole several times. I will stick to the torch because the glass-blowing is physically challenging.
Julie, the wrap on his arm is to protect the hand closest to the hot glass while it is being formed (usually in a chair position). The heat is incredibly intense!

Such a delicate craft. I can understand why his eyes need protection, but why the wrap on his arm, I wonder?
It's a small, small world! Oh, wait, you're already singing that! ;-)
I've never understood how these people make such beautiful products the way they do, but I'm glad they do anyway.
Nice portrait, BC!
Have a wonderful Sunday. I'm on my way to play golf but it's cloudy, cool and drizzling. Ugh.
Nice portrait this morning.
Thank you!

Very interesting craft. I live down the road from the famous Chihuly Phichuck Glass School. It is back in the Pilchuck Woods.
Love it. Fascinating. MB
Intriguing art. Were you able to try it?
I'm always fascinated by their work!it's a kind of magic feeling to look at them working!Could you get someyhing made like this?
PS: thank you for the address for the pattern; I give all the things I make but will try to get some pictures for you.
You and Kate today! This is such a beautiful art!
I have been there. The Simon Pearse makes simple but elegant pieces. We have a few.
Nice portrait. Maybe Steffe is influencing the CDP bloggers to include more people.

That's an art, but a harsh one...
God bless you!

Beautiful portrait...
Ahha .. thank you Genie. That makes sense when I think about how close he may have to get upon occasion.

I'm fascinated by this craft. It's so difficult to see one at work here now.
