It's been nearly 5 months since I've been in the glass studio. I have missed it so much. Some people meditate to clear their thoughts, I sit down to work on the torch. There's something about the quiet rhythm of melting glass that helps me think.
We've slowly been gathering equipment, starting with the the torch itself all the way back in September but there were a few items that were harder to find for the right price. A few Saturdays ago, we just bit the bullet and got what we needed. The best part was that we got to make a trip to Smithfield Implement.
It's still hard to find time to get in the studio, which is out in our garage, with our curious two year old and newborn but just knowing that it's a possibility makes me happy.
Last week, the Young Women from our ward came out to see me work on the torch. I did some demonstrations of fish, hollows, dots...it was a great time. I felt so cool having a hobby that I could share.
Leo always likes to see what comes out of the kiln. He kisses all of my fishes (and breaks some too). He likes to see what's going on. Did you think I was joking about the kissing? Oh no, I was totally serious.
