Finally got the craft good enough where I could complete a long standing order for a set of drinking glasses.
The tumblers are particularly tricky as the glass has to be blown out thin enough so that its comfortable to drink out of, but not so thin that the walls collapse when trying to shape the piece. That and getting the pieces of a set to be somewhere close to similar sizes is really really difficult without using a mold - some pieces will blow out a little wider, some may stretch out a little longer, then, to top it all off, they shrink a bit when they anneal in the kiln. Which is to say, they can be roughly similar but all very much unique!
I particularly like this shape as the pieces fit very comfortably in the palm of the hand. I have one set of tumblers still available here that I made some time ago (https://spirit-glass.myshopify.....com/collections/tum but looking forward to opportunities to create new ones!
In case you are interested in ordering some for yourself or a friend in your own custom colors, prices are:
$40 for 1
$35 each for 2-3
$30 each for 4+
All blown pieces are signed and dated by me and inscribed with a Christian cross in thanks for the gifts I have received.
My hot shop will be off for June, but starting up again with crafting next month. Can give you a more specific timeline if interested.
