I took a 12 hour beginner class in January and I've had 2 2-hour private lessons. Nothing is quite straight yet but I figure that will come with practice. I am working on blue glass flowers for an art glass surround for my fireplace. I can make 2 glass in an hour. Hopefully, I'll get faster...
So decided to actually learn to blow glass. Finished beginner's class. Creations are far from perfect but getting better. Maybe in a few years I'll be able to make a tumbler with straight sides. I have new respect for hand-blown items. These are the creations I've made on my own so far.
I found a fragment of porcelain diving in the gulf for meg teeth. An arch friend told me it was probably from a wreck. I can't image finding an entire bottle diving! What a great friend!

I started watching an episode on YouTube last night. Looking forward to more.
I drank the rum!

I was sure it wasn't worth more that $10 to $20 (tops). I was just wondering how someone could expect to get an outrages amount for that bottle. I'd appreciate the real value. Thanks!
