The joys of cold-work….
20 May 2020

The joys of cold-work….

by admin | posted in: Art Glass, Cold working, Glass blowing | 0

Glassmaking, for me, is all about hot work.
With coronavirus lockdown putting a temporary halt to my glass blowing classes, I have reluctantly switched the furnace off….
…and I have a confession “I do not like cold-work”.

OMG I’m so chuffed with the way this lamp has turned out. I’m not really sure I want to sell it as it looks very "at home", sitting on the Chinese cabinet in the hall!However, as I’ve just spent a gazillion pounds on my lovely new oak staircase and I’m skint – sell it I must!The base is cut from an ancient oak-beam from an old Devon farmhouse and is a chunky piece of wood weighing around 8Kg!.The glass is based on Stagshorn fungus which is just beginning to make an appearance in the woods now.siddy-langley-glass.myshopify.com/search?type=product&q=stagshorn

The furnace is still off because of my burnt finger! I have been consoling myself with bead making instead. There was a juvenile bluetit learning to fly in the garden the other day so I used its colouring to inspire a “Bluetit” necklace.This is hot off the press -some of these beads were only made this morning!siddy-langley-glass.myshopify.com/search?type=product&q=%22Bluetit%22

Trying to avoid the full heat of the furnace, glassblowing, I thought I’d make another necklace. However, in bright sunlight the bead-making flame becomes pretty much invisible and I have now been out of action for over two weeks! I thought a “Flame” piece was appropriate for my piece-of-the-week!siddy-langley-glass.myshopify.com/search?type=product&q=fire++jug
