    'Articulate' lightcatcher hanging cast glass sculptures

    Make-a-Monolith Workshops

    Make-a-Monolith Workshops

    I hold these workshops roughly every fortnight throughout the summer for people with no experience in glasswork. They're restricted to just four attendees, each of whom makes a 1-metre-high cast glass monolith. The picture shows the product of one such workshop. They're really good fun!
