Glassblowing by Andrew Lupton
My collection features four pieces: there are two paperweights, a glass bulb (similar to a light bulb), and a cup. The cup is made of clear glass and along the sides you may notice that there are two bands of clear glass surrounding the piece. This was made by holding and turning the piece while touching hot glass to the already formed cup, creating the effect of draping bands. This effect was also used on the blue paperweight which has chunks of color rolled into it. To make the yellow and brown paperweight, I rolled color onto the glass and then put another layer of clear and colored glass on top. By using this technique, I was able to give the piece its depth. The glass bulb was originally a hot liquid mass which I rolled color onto and blew out into a spherical shape. After the sphere had cooled, I molded some glass on top of the piece in a different spot to form the ring. I hope you enjoy this month's collection!

Sweet Rain by Victoria Kreyden
Hopeless sky- morose
Drenched with sadness and sweet rain

There's a Snake Hissing at the Door by Ashley Kulak
There’s a snake hissing at the back door. You can hear him slither his way through, slipping his way into your house. Denying his presence is the first step, you know.
Glassblowing by Andrew Lupton
This collection for April features several different pieces of work. The two clear class bowls were made by rolling and shaping the glass. To make the red and orange papar weight, I molded the glass into a tower shape. One of these pieces is a cylinder with a blue swirl rolled in, creating bands of blue color. The purple and clear piece is molded after an authentic roman oil lamp with a handle an a spout for the wick. Enjoy!
