I had a great time over the weekend, I went to Corning Glass Studio in Corning, NY and took a flameworking class. My intent was to see how much of a learning curve there is in creating glass art, and after 12 hours of instruction I am convinced I have barely (pun) scratched the surface of what you can do with a glass rod and a torch. My intent also is to begin a new business for myself, creating memorial glass for bereavement/grief gifts. Such beautiful art work, and glass creating is an art all by itself. So, a new venture to sink my teeth into, though it will probably be something left for next fall, during my slow time of year. I plan to take at least one more class before then, another flameworking class, but a bit more advanced. It’s almost an addiction, the thought of creating a new form of art. It’s something I’ve never really dabbled in before.

welcome to the real art of flameworking, your right, you have just started, and the possibilities are near limitleass! I have just over 3 years now, asnd feel that I am legitemately just now becoming an intermediate level flameworker. I know there is still a long way to go, and I have been spending my life full time behind torches and making videos about glass asnd glass art. I am surrounded and live near eugene oregon wich means I am surrounded by very skilled glass artists, and I see much glass and many methods nearly daily, yet, I am always pushing myself to grow further in glass. welcome to the never ending learning curve!-)
