So as a part of my internship Margaret taught a class in corning, which I was lucky enough to be able to join in for free.
The class was to learn the basic flower construction. The TA James Byrns, who has been a scientific glass blower for 30+ years also taught me many tricks and skills. Overall I think I have learned more in one week then I could have imagined learning in a year.
A grouping of borosilicate glass flowers produced july 2009
An attempt to make a lampworked goblet with a fairy for a stem
An lampworked cupcake and ice cream cone
An attempt to create a sculpture of Borosilicate glass. Broken in the kiln
The only figure that did not yet have cracking or breaking problems
To learn vessels I was told to go and make 50 of them. These are a few Borosilicate glass vessels
