Put is in use... Hot molten glass has a life of its' own. The intrigue, wonder and pleasure I felt during my first attempts some 17 years ago remains virtually unchanged every time I am in the studio. I must admit that it is this process that I enjoy most, more than the finished product. But it is also very satisfying in another way, to hear that someone is enjoying using a vessel. For I believe it is just that...for someone to put it in use....for it to be completed.
