Friday!

I spent much of the day producing some sketchbook work of which I am very proud and I did a little work in the workshops.
I've found a new method for slumping the glass, which is using steel instead and this has come out of the kiln now! I'm very excited because the method has worked, I just need to improve the shape of the steel sheet so that there is more of an angle rather than a curve, as shown below...
I only put one in the kiln so I didn't waste too much glass, and I'm glad of this as I have now got time and materials to improve with, so I've made some more steel moulds to go in the kiln this afternoon!
