Excited to be collaborating with two friends for this performative Hot Glass Hangout at Urbanglass on Friday, September 3rd, from 6-8. Its now less than a week away!

That is a video of the plotter I use- a vinyl cutter that I put paper and a refillable paint pen in to make a big bold line drawing robot.

Find out what the pattern says by going to the hot glass hangout at Urbanglass in Brooklyn, (NYC) on April 3rd, 6-8pm. Free and open to the public with light snacks and some things for sale. Its a fun time, there might be some audience interaction, will be some light snacks and things for sale, and my friend Alex will be on a microphone explaining the glassblowing things happening.

Dale Chihuly once put a bunch of neon in blocks of ice. We gave it a try. Partially frozen with water on the top and my hand didn't get any zappy current :)

I have been pretty busy with some neon production work, but I did manage to find time to document this sculpture I completed in 2023, The Wild One E, the fifth of big toy sculptures. I was in such a rush to get it out to a show in Chicago that I didn't get a chance to properly document it. You can see my first lil bit of clips thrown together here...

I want to redo the photo shoot in a white wall room (I have one at home). I also want to get another camera flash.

I also pulled tubes with an old friend from college. We were glassblowing blow partners and now he blows glass full time here in Brooklyn. I had been wanting to pull some of these expensive colors with him and it was worth it.
Gotta mix up some phosphors to coat the tubes later. We used nearly full kilograms of color on each pull so the colors light filtering effects would be extra pronounced.

Glad UC Riverside still has a scientific glassblower. Fewer and fewer US campuses do.
