Working with glass

I really enjoyed working with glass this semester. It was a great experience to be thrown into a
medium that you are not used to working with. Though with the first project i was kind of lost and hesitant to work with glass as a material. The mold blowing project helped me better understand the limits and advantages that glass can have. One advantage of working with glass, for me, was because I use glass alot within my thesis, and being able to utilize and create with the actual substance allowed me to further develope my thesis work. However working with the hocking glass department also presented its challenges. Working with a large class did not allow a lot of room for individual time with the mold blowing project. The glass taking so long to prep and blow the mold only allowed for each piece to be blown a couple times. For further projects with glass I would like to include color glass within my mold blown object as well. -T.m.
