Day 2 was a blast. Now that we have our molds made, time to blow them & see what happens. Each mold has its own little tricks that you have to figure out. Some you win & some you don't. There are molds that I have that have taken a couple dozen attempts to figure out.
One of the highlights of the second day was the appearance of some molds made of ice, generously molded and donated by Ice Sculptor Rob Capone of Ice Bars Luges and Logos. That was a new experience for all parties involved. The molds held up way better than any of us expected. As Fern put it - "The ice affected the glass more than the glass affected the ice."
It was a very exciting class for everyone, and I will be hosting another at East Falls Glassworks when I make my way back East next summer. Here is a link to Photos from Day 2: Boing!!
