Boro & a Big Torch

I seem to go in cycles... learning cycle, then creating cycle. For the past few months I have been in a learning cycle, studying flameworking with Jake Vincent at the Worcester Center for Crafts. This awesome class launched me onto a much bigger torch (a Carlisle)and had me using boro consistently, learning torch-based glass blowing techniques. Now I'm all psyched to get into my creating cycle, hoping to refine what I've learned. I especially love making implosion technique marbles, and small blown ornaments. Pictured here is a little blown glass bell in amber that came out of the kiln last week.
