Hot Times At Glass School

The thermometer might be reading in the triple digits (upper 30's for the C° crowd ), and there may be powerful storms that have knocked out power for many in the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland & Virginia) but there are those that come to the glass school to chill. 
Here are some shots taken on a hot weekend:
University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire Associate Professor Susan O'Brien has come to the glass school to work in glass, as a change from ceramics. Susan here talks about her composition with artist Michael Janis.
Susan explores integrating decorative patterns into her fused glass
Artist John Henderson removes his castings from the kiln.
John is preparing artwork for a new mixed media series he is developing.
John's new "Shield" series incorporates cast glass African imagery with metal and fused glass elements. And working with a water-cooled chop saw helps cool him down. 
Nancy Donnelly works with glass frits to create a lovely floral backdrop.

Stay Cool Peeps!
