As a relative novice to the hot glass world, I keep exploring and pushing myself to "become friends" with the material and its techniques. Unexpectedly, it gives me something that I’ve never imagined: the endlessness of the glass cane, its twisting and turning, continue to fascinate me ever since I first saw it. Despite glass canes are commonly merely a raw material within the larger processes of working with glass, I feel that they have the potential to be much more: frozen evidence of a collaborative effort over time and gravity.
