I’m looking at having glass blowing going in my studio by the end of this week. I didn’t care too much about glass blowing until recently. Blame my friend Zoe for getting me caught up in the romance and excitement that is glass blowing. I can’t wait to start doing it regularly. So it has made me very aware of other glass blowers and so when you find one that is as skilled as Joe Cariati that is based in Los Angeles, where I am, I perk up…and thanks to Facebook I can see what he’s up to on a regular basis. He just sold the gorgeous vases to Trina Turk in Palm Springs and is headed out to Modernist Week in that very town. I was just there myself yesterday. Loved it! So check out Joe’s web site…he’s got a video to watch too.
