ubud cups

more pictures of the cups I made at the studio in Bali. We were working at the Horizon Glassworks studio near Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. These aren't that great but some of them are okay and they're a lot better than I thought after not blowing glass for just over a year. The first few days in the studio weren't that great as I was getting used to working with glass again in a new shop but after that I (and the others, too) did a lot better and had fun. The studio was hot but not as hot as I thought it would be for a glass studio almost on the equator. Plus it rained a few times while we were working so we walk out to cool off in the rain when we got too hot.

When working in the hot shop, expecially in the humid tropics, it's important to keep hydrated. Beer is a good choice. We went though a lot. Of course drink water too!
