We needed more practice and production time, so we took the plunge and started working at Glass Hand Studio in Alameda on the weekends. So far this is working out great! Glass Hand is a very clean, welcoming and affordable space, and the owner, Prax, is a sweetheart, very laid back and friendly.
Here are some pics from our second night:

| At the Glory Hole Dear Reviewers of this page. The name for the item pictured above is the correct technical term used by professional glassblowers, Here is an article from the Corning Museum of Glass explaining the origin of this term: https://libanswers.cmog.org/faq/144299 If you want to flag this entirely harmless page because this term happens to also be used in other contexts, be my guest. I will not change this from the correct term to something else because you think people are too stupid to take context into account when reading. Cheers. |
