Here they are - pieces by Wendy, Delia & Sharon. We donned the gloves and glasses and the pieces were fired in 7 minutes but much longer to cool of course.

We are back up and blogging again! Today Wendy, Roxy, Stef, Delia, Kaye and Sharon are having a day off from various roles and are happily playing with glass. The first firing looks fabulous as you can see.

I know that some of you have been on our jewellery courses and I think many of the colours in your float pieces here reflect the jewel like quality of colour beautifully. We had a great time being with you - making glass and eating cake.

These are lovely, well done to you all!

Just to remind you that every student that has visited us this year has at least one photo of their work on this blog (there are lots more pages as well as this one). It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you all and we will be back with more courses in the new year.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year, warmest wishes, Sue and Vince

Here are the first pieces of the day after being fired. Also i've included a before shot of the main kiln with some really exciting pieces. Many are going to be fired as bowls - watch this space for photographs of final pieces, coming soon.

The tops to these were really clean and some super colour combinations too - well done.

As you can see there are some really beautiful pieces. The good news is also that your all of your second 3 inch squares are fab too, although I haven't photographed them.

Please feel very free to leave comments on your own work and that of others'. Also we would love to see you again on a course and remember we do gift vouchers just in case anyone is stuck for a present for you.

We are currently in the process of making a piece of community art which we will put up on this blog shortly. The work is being made in a beeswax medium rather than glass. Beeswax is actually translucent when used in this way and is a very tactile material. If you have time to pop back here and look in 2 weeks time, and even better leave some feedback, I would be really grateful as this work is part of my MA around audience reactions to my work. Thank you again for an enjoyable day on Saturday.

Please don't worry if you can't see all of your pieces, some are in the other kiln cooling down. Also these will look even better when viewed against the light. I am hoping to put some photographs up tomorrow.

Wow we had a great day and these are only some of the pieces made! Thank you, we so enjoyed the day. I still can't believe we were able to eat lunch outside - what a bonus..

Please let me know if you want any of your pieces fired as bowls - I think Amy has one but I am not sure about the rest.
