In May of 2007, I took what has come to be known as the "suicide class" at the College for Creative Studies in downtown Detroit. It was a continuing education one week only, from 6 to 10pm.
After working all day with children, this was quite a workout,and yet a great challenge and good stress relief. I managed to make about a dozen pieces, these are what I consider my successes. Well, as far as the paperweight is concerned, it's useful. As for glassblowing, I'm hooked.
