incalmo practice


I'm really enjoying making tiny 3 inch boro teacups.  I can experiment with striking colors and practice incalmo technique, at the same time.  If I put feet on the bottom, I can pack a lot of practice into each piece.

goblet class













Took a class last month at Glasscraft on making goblets.  Wow.  We had a great teacher, and this class really improved and broadened my skills with borosilicate tubing.  Still have lots to learn, but... it's a good first step.  practice, practice, practice.

The last part of the class we started doing incalmo technique.  The footed bottles are mostly about 5" tall.
