Riverton Glass Class

We had the opportunity to attend a wonderful glass art class this past week.

The instructor is a master at warm glass fusing techniques, so we learned so much about firing to get different effects, etc.

The scenery around Riverton and Red Canyon was wonderful, the weather just a touch on the cool side, which made it very nice and the company (Mike) was fun.

Mike is so good with the glass tools -saws, grinders, etc. He makes a plan and really develops it. He picked up the name "Psychadelic [sic] Mike" because he let the class talk him into using really bright happy colors on this train. His first choice was always in the browns, blacks and reds. But now he's looking at oranges, blues, pinks, yellows, etc. You can see the periwinkle blue glass waiting to be cut.
