A while back we all went Glass Blowing with Michael Ruh. Michael makes his own amazing work, vases, jars, bowls etc of which I've always been a big fan. My first studio was next door to Michael and Natascha, in West Norwood.
I used to watch them in amazement at how they make a glass by turning a molten burning hot blob of material skilfully into something that is beautiful and fragile and pure. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirS9aXHrfl98h3-NvDNGkjyeVsZ7I5GgfySiXdQNla-k9XoAvCTR05KIPJFY2JQC2OwF-BTXhl1Qm8kP3hoEmde3NacB8eRpncT5-_FwKME1coz14EilqL3jBzv5hANVcWYnxsS-97I8hi/s640/michael+Ruh.tiff)
Michel and Natascha hold Glass blowing workshops in December so you can have a go at blowing your own Christmas Bauble. I'd thoroughly recommend it, it's great fun and the whole process is mind blowing to me!
Here's some pics of us:
