hot glass. cold beer.

remember when i shared with you that i started glassblowing again? 

well, my little crew of glassblowers and i have been working our little tails off this past month for our Hot Glass. Cold Beer. Party.

we held the party this past friday as a way to introduce the new hot shop to our tiny town.  

everyone who attended received a free beer mug made by us plus free booze all night. 

not too shabby eh?

we flew in 4 glassblowers from seattle who did 2 amazing demos for a very intrigued audience.  

we also held a silent auction for some of the things we've been working on, like the plates below.  

mine was blue and SOLD.  i know, right?  like someone paid a lot of money for it....suckas slash my new favorite anonymous person ever.  (thanks for making me feel awesome)

the seattle crew made a gorgeous redwood tree and one bad ass cowboy.

a huge thank you to all of my amazing friends who showed up to support!

{my plate sold!?  funny feeling but i hope whoever bought it loves it forever}

{mustache cups.  creepy 'stache cup line coming soon}

p.s. we were all pretty burnt out last thursday night before the party so we decided to create mustache beer mugs.  dear friends: your newest birthday gifts.  

tell me the creepiest 'stache your heart desires and it's all yours. 

Bucket List (#2)

i'm so psyched to share with you that i've starting blowing glass again!
yes, the egg does have a small artistic bone in her eggshell.
i'm taking a class this week from the amazing Charlotte Potter.
jhole ladies, i'm sure you own her earrings.
she is sisters with my girl crush Grace Potter who i raved about here.  she's killin' it right now, btw.

teton art lab just opened a few weeks ago and is the first place in the valley, maybe even in wyoming, where one can find a glass hot shop.
its refreshing to do some arts and farts and crafts in a place where it is easy to only focus on the outdoors. hey, i'm not complaining....i just hope i can stick with my new hobby.
