This past weekend, we hosted Jeri Warhaftig and her husband Neil to come and install new sandblasting equipment in the lampworking studio. So much awesome! We now have a fully functional, professional grade sandblasting unit for glass, appropriate for doing beads and larger glass pieces - up to the size of plates and glasses and vases even. It's pretty roomy!
We'll be writing up a procedure guideline and making it available for folks to come in and rent time on it. It might seem pretty intimidating at first, but once you get a taste of it, you're going to be sandblasting everything in sight!
I don't normally expect to get something I can show off from a class - which is not to say that I don't usually show stuff off - but it's usually with some sort of caveat - but this bead, from this weekend - I think this needs no justification at all!
