It looks so simple! When a master in glass blowing, Henk, with 33 years of experience shows you how to do it. Well, I can tell you, it isn't. I got this one-day-course as a present from my parents in law. A fantastic idea. Working with the hot glass (more than 1200C) is exciting. And the heat is sometimes frightening. But I felt really proud to finish my first piece (with a lot of help). I can't show you the results because the pieces take a while to cool down and have to be polished. I'm really looking forward to see my third piece with colours. I'll show when I have picked them up at the studio. A place worth visiting. So is the national glassmuseum nearby. Here you can see Henk making a piece for Walter van Beirendonck.
Turning, turning, turning...

Stoer! Laat je het resultaat nog eens zien? ;)
Wat leuk! Mijn ouders wonen er bijna tegenover ;) ik ben er een paar jaar geleden geweest, ze hebben zoveel mooie dingen.
Ben benieuwd naar jou glas.
Ik heb een tijd geleden een keer glas kralen gemaakt, hetzelfde concept alleen wat kleiner... moeilijk hoor!! Ik heb nu meer respect voor al die dure kralen!!
Wat leuk om eens te ervaren! Zou ik inderdaad ook erg van kunnen genieten!
