When the glass is still hot, air, usually from human lungs, is blown through a pipe to expand a bubble that will eventually become the inside of a new glass creation. More glass is gathered and the step above is repeated until the desired size is reached. Lastly, the pipe is cut off and voila, a new glass piece is born! Many cooperative and creative people must come together to make a single sculpture. Designers, planners,…

As I grew I’d envision myself as I’d seen famous writer’s depicted: solemn loners in misshaped hats surrounded by books and pipe smoke, with bright sunlight flooding their desks.
