I found another new passion, Borosilicate glass!
Borosilicate is a hard glass (in contrast to the soft - Bullseye glass used for bead making). I particularly like that the hard glass does not need to go into the Vermicultie and temper as quickly.
Today we started by practicing hot welding a cube. Then we moved on to make several pendants. Pictures will be posted once the annealing process is complete.
I need to work on transferring glass using puntils, shaping the glass, and creating stingers. Next week I plan to return to the studio to do some more work.
Ultimately I want to work towards doing borosilicate implosion pieces.
