“Better an interesting failure than a boring success”

North Lands Studio in Lybster, Scotland
I have been immersed in glass for the past 10 days; attending a masterclass at North Lands Creative Glass in Scotland.   The glassblowing/kiln casting workshop, entitled "Out of Thin Air", was lead by Michael Rogers and his TA Ben Dombey.
Revealing my “inspirational suitcase”, which in preparation for my journey to real and imaginary places, consists of books, poems, quotes, images, small objects to cast in glass, and non-essential and impractical metaphorical tools.
14 hour days - working in the studio
