Glass Hand Studio

We are having a clearance sale at the studio this Sunday noon - 4pm. You should come; the prices are ridiculously low, and there are some fantastic pieces. We’ll be letting two people in at a time and you’ll nearly be outside. This is the view from our big roll-up door. #glasssale

It’s not easy to take a good photo of a shiny piece like this, but I hope you can see some of the gorgeous color in this piece! There’s a soft white, a turquoise, and two flavors of silver blue at work here. Definitely my favorite recent results. #glassblowing #allhailsilverblue #camerainthemirror

These three come from sessions in the last couple of days. They have very prominent networking where one or more colors sitting on top of the white background seem to pull away, looking like they are repelled by the white. This is another one of those processes where I can never predict the outcome. #glassblowing #randomorjustcomplex

Some more new work with reducing (silvery) colors. The process is so unpredictable: check out the closeup at the end for a good example. #glassblowing #endlessamusment

Two pieces from yesterday’s session using a different blue and a different optic mold. #glassblowing #theflowerisplastic

The two blues in these pieces have been producing some surprisingly lovely reactions. It’s often hard to get across in a photo, but in the right light, they look like tarnished silver with a copper patina. #glassblowing #bluepatina

More recent pieces... I get a seasonal vibe from this group. #glassblowing #autumn #nowinterreally #definitelyspring #summer

We’ve been playing around a lot with stripes lately. Lots of green, lots of shiny blue; these vases have it all. The following is a closeup of another one with some pinks and purples thrown in. #glassblowing #greens #shinyblues #twentyfourstripeseverytime

We are trying out new color combinations while building up a collection of ornaments for a holiday giveaway / fundraiser in early December. #holidayseason #glassblowing

Here’s some of what we’ve been making these past few days. I hope they can provide you with a nice little distraction. #peacefulmoments #glassblowing

We made a few, maybe more utilitarian, striped bowls like this one too. #anicespringtimetheme #glassblowing
