Wednesday

I love looking out the window at the bay while I write these in the morning. Wednesday was a good day. A little slower for me I finished another mold in the morning and was done around two so I took the day to myself. I hiked around in the woods, slid down a hill into a creek beyond my will haha but it was a good time, and decided to jump into the 50 degree lake for a swim. I'm not sure what was more fun the swimming or the pushing a friend in first. There was a colaboration last night in the hot shop between a visiting artist Paul Rucker and the staff/gaffers. Anyone who could play an instrument came out and made music for the glass workers to work to and see what came out of that inspiration. It was beautiful to see them work so far on a piece of glass than pass it off to someone who could change it at their whim. Today is going to be a long day of casting. My friend Josh and I have a colaboration that needs to be done today to come out of the annealer in time. Sounds like a good long day in the hot shop. More on that later! Mark is also having a wonderful time. Everytime I run into him he is enjoying his experiments. Also he just recieved some of his molds in the mail so I'm interested to see what he is going to do with those. Its great to know with all the knowledge we are collecting together we are concockting plans for when we get back.
