Re: GESO: Glass blower
Bob. Great set of photos. This brings back some good memories., I visited a park, i forget the name, in Sweden in 1976, and they had glass blowers working as they would have 2-300 years ago, I was so intriged, i went and watched them every day for two weeks, I found a College in Mississauga that had, and i think still does have, a night class in glass blowing. I took the glass, and it was the most fun i had over a 10 week period i have ever had. I still have all 10 pieces i made.

Re: GESO: Glass blower
Thanks Dave and Christine for checking. Dave, glass blowing looks very interesting. This guy was originally a hairdresser with a shop employing 17. He sold some glass objects in the shop and got into it. Now he has 2 sons doing it and a grandson. The pieces are facinating and pricey. Here's a link. http://www.lottonglass.com/ Regards, Bob S.

Re: GESO: Glass blower
Nice, Bob. You could edit out about 2/3 of them, though, because there are often several pix showing the same step. I was also hoping for a clean shot of the finished product.

Re: GESO: Glass blower
Thanks Rick, I know I have some editing to do. The piece went into a cooling box and will get some finishing touches. The buyer promised me some pictures next weekend when he picks it up. He also has some Point-n-Shoot images from the first steps. He forgot his real camera and was very pleased for the pictures. Regards, Bob S.
