Glass school is awesome

Glass school is freaking fun. Like super fun. Playing with molten glass is way more fun that I thought it would be. Today we did a lot of talking and we ended up making just a couple of paper weights. Nothing too crazy, but hopefully they will turn out really cool. Mine are going to look as superly awesome as any other glass paper weight. Crazy fun to do it though. I'm so glad I took this class. I didn't think I'd be so excited about it. It's crazy crazy hot too. I mean, I know that molten glass would be hot, but the furnaces are super hot even when you are far away from them, the heat just can't be contained. It ended up being a really small class too - only four people and two instructors which was really nice. As soon as you finish watching someone else - and learning from their mistakes, you get to go try out your technique. It was nice to go back and forth. It would have been bad if there would have been a full class and then you would have to wait a lot longer until you got to try stuff out. I think my patience would have been fried.

This is one of the most fun things I've done in a while. Though I have no idea what I'm going to do with the stuff that I make. Apparently we are going to do some strange pumpkin things tomorrow and a drinking glass. Maybe more paper weights too... we'll see. Yeah for playing with glass!
