My creativity or lack there of has been looking for an outlet and sneaking out whenever it can to find something new to play with. Today I convinced my sister in law to sign up for a fused glass class with me next March. I've tried a couple of classes already.
My first class, I went to try to learn every tool and method of glass cutting that I was allowed to. I was surprised that not everyone else wanted to play with the machines, but the lack of competition for their use was of benefit. So, my first attempt was a sushi dish. Basically, a nice rectangle of glass which is inexpensive to let us try to learn from. It's certainly no work of art, but I do feel that I learned a lot that day.
The second class, I used less of the tools, but tried to make something fun and sort-of useful. It's a candle shade; to be placed in front of a candle and let the light shine through. It's a little more than a foot across, so I suppose it's for a really big candle.
