Walking to my car from the office today I passed a small maintenance building on the campus. Or at least, I thought it was a maintenance building. I had heard some very loud rock and roll coming from it a couple of months ago but thought nothing of it. This evening, the doors were open and I saw that there were a couple of glass kilns in the space.
I went up and introduced myself and asked if I might come back and photograph them. So expect that I'll do something in the next couple of weeks. There is something really primal about a humongously hot furnace, glowing red-orange. Not to mention the very cool shapes the glass takes as it is being blown.
