Just to show I have truly been busy, here is one of the projects I have been working on lately and finally got installed. These two plates now reside in a lovely home in Lyall Bay, Wellington. The most rewarding part of this for me was seeing the beaming smiles on the couple who commissioned them once they were in place. Satisfaction all around.

Something to work towards I think.

This was a few days ago, Very enjoyable day on both sides of the bench.

We have two NZ glass legends working in the hot shop today at NZG. David Traub and Tony Kuepfer. It’s great to see them work their magic!

Managed to keep a little busy during lockdown and finish these two groups off. They are ready to go out into the world now. One group of forms has a copper finish on the surface. It is created by cooling and reheating the glass with a gas fired torch, producing the lustered finish.
And then there is a little golden yellow, with a hint of green, Family group. They do brighten the studio up. Maybe they could do the same for your place.

The furnace might be off but that doesn't mean there is nothing hot around here. Have had lots of time to watch these little beauties ripen. Might not have hot glass around at the moment but there are hot chilies, hot enough to melt glass! Harvest time.
