Glass Blowing: 'Humbug'
Yesterday I was blowing some of my new 'Humbug' pieces at the University of Sunderland. I use the process of pulling cane to get stripes and rolling these up on a glass body, which I then blow out and shape. The canes are therefore on the outer layer so I can grind through them with circular lenses.
