Noah's glass blowing adventure

Noah is so excited to show us his new glass blowing skills. And we are equally excited to see his new talent in action.
This blue color will be added to the clear glass and result in swirls all through the finished piece.
This is a front on shot of the furnace. A bucket of melted glass is always kept in the bottom of this furnace. Noah dipped the glass blowing rod into the glass an started working from that.
He then put the glass into this furnace, which he called the glory hole, and started working and shaping the glass.
He had pounded this glass into a powder so that he could roll the molten glass into it and pick up additional colors.
Watch this video clip. It is most interesting.
This is one of Noah's pieces on exhibition at the Harris Fine Arts Center. Each student had to display two pieces to pass the class. Noah had six of his finest works on display. They were all beautiful. Noah also made the stand for this piece.
This piece is vey unsual because Noah formed a large piece and then he sliced it into rings anf then he formed a mobile.
This piece was also very beautiful. Notice the stand. Yes he made it too. It is formed from limestone and the quarry where the limestone came from is the same quarry where the stone came for the Nauvoo Temple.
This is Noah's name proudly displayed proclaiming him as the creator of hs art.
Here is a different shot. You can now see the second piece on the stand. Yes he also made the stand for the red pedestal piece
