Big A** Cereal Bowl

I just finished taking Hot Glass II this week at the Pittsburgh Glass Center. CMU allows you to register for the class through the university, and they'll pick up half the cost. I've been very happy with how my pieces have been turning out this class. I've gotten a lot better compared to what I was turning out in Hot Glass I. (I also had a great partner.)

I was commissioned to make a big a** cereal bowl for a friend. Here it is below. It is the biggest thing I have ever made, with 3 gathers of glass. I had to have someone turn the pipe for me on the bench and another person protect my arm while I was putting in the jack line. It's not perfect, and the sidewalls are super thick, but I like it anyway. It fits a lot of cereal, which was the goal. Yay!
