My glass has been made by a talented glass blower called James Carcass for many years. Once based in London, he is now living in Hungary with his wife and son. I visited their studio while Hungary was covered in thick snow, to watch a batch of new glass being made and to help in its production. This trip was also a wonderful opportunity for me to work as an assistant for a few days and be involved in the making process.
The Glass Workshop
James shaping the hot glass in a piece of wet leather at the beginning of the glass blowing process, and later applying copper to the hot surface to create the texture and patterns that appear in the finished object.
