Emptying the Furnace

The studio is cool and quiet. ⁠The furnace is off at the moment.
⁠
It's a strange mix of emotions... a relief as the summer has just arrived.

The prolonged chill has been a great time for glassmakers.

It's always always disconcerting when the cycling heart beat of the studio goes quiet.⁠
⁠
It's time for a rebuild, a new box of bricks, this one lasted us 16 years so she did well.

Time to renew.⁠
⁠
Hope to be back up and running in September, just as the Autumn returns.⁠
⁠
If you come to the studio over the next few weeks, although we are not blowing glass there will always be a warm welcome.⁠
