How do you get the different colours in the glass without mixing them?

It is helpful to think of the glass colours like plasticine. In the same way you can either keep the different glass colours separate from each other or if you mix them up they will eventually go brown.

What inspired you to work with glass?

The fun thing about glass blowing is you can make whatever your imagination can think up.

How long does it take to make one piece?

The longest piece will take two days preparing and four hours to blow, so it can be quite a marathon.
