RE: Art Talk: Learning to blow glass

in Art Talk2 months ago

You made so many pieces over four classes, and they're all so pretty, especially the flowers. I was watching this American glass blowing contest the other month, it looks very hard work but the contestants were amazing and so creative. Maybe if you do another course, you'll pick up more techniques and make some Chihuly inspired pieces

Thanks so much. I have ideas of what I want to make. We'll see if I do the class again. Maybe I would, with a different teacher.

I noticed he didn't seem very energetic, almost like he was forced to be there

He is a really good glass blower. Not such a good teacher. Being a good teacher is really a skill.

Passion was the adjective I meant to use. You need that a teacher to learn otherwise you might as well watch a YouTube video
