'Mel' must be Austrailian for AWESOME

​This August I had the chance to TA for the amazing Mel Douglas. It was a fantastic experience and I learned SO MUCH. Nancy Callan was also teaching her own class in the hotshop and two classes were assigned a co-lab that intertwined the hot show with the kiln and cold shops.

Below are some samles of an exercise I completed along with the class. Base.Body.Lip began with a premade glass sphere. I comleted 100 drawings of possible ways to finish the sphere and then after that. Coldworkng. Lots of coldworking.
