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”.

After my thoroughly overexcited post on Friday you After my thoroughly overexcited post on Friday you are probably expecting a lamp as today’s Piece-of-the-Week.
However, the new pillar drill was not the only thing I got excited about this week (I know, two exciting things in one week!) 
I saw a post* here on Facebook about a book and couldn’t resist ordering Werner’s Nomenclature Of Colours.
Having had a lifelong passion for newts, I wanted to call this a “Warty Newt Necklace” but I thought that might put people off buying it so I’ve called it “Kingfisher’s Eye” instead!

I go most years to find interestingly shaped pieces of hard wood to make into lamp bases.
A nice little haul gathered this morning and, fittingly, my Piece-of-the-Week today is a lamp made with a piece of (I think) walnut that I bought  about five years ago at The Oak Fair.

It has been a somewhat “celestial” couple of weeks. Starting with the eclipse and followed by lots of meteor watching as the Perseid meteor shower made its annual pass.As I was sitting quietly in the garden last night watching for meteors, the security light flashed on and a hedgehog wandered up and sniffed at my toes! I didn’t dare move a muscle but found myself quietly hoping my toes didn’t smell too much of cat food!Today’s Piece-of-Week is called “Starry, starry night”! siddy-langley-glass.myshopify.com/search?type=product&q=starry%2C+starry+night

In this wretched drought, about the only plant to survive (apart from bloody bindweed – don’t get me started on bloody bindweed again!) is buddleia.I brought some inside to photograph alongside the scent bottle and, to my horror, a beautiful little crab spider ran out and hid underneath the Photo Booth. It took me about half an hour (I know ‘cos my tea went cold!) to coax her onto a leaf and then safely back to the garden!siddy-langley-glass.myshopify.com/search?type=product&q=%22Buddleia%22
