How fun is that!!!
I kept on thinking "I wonder why a few of those sink makers put the same opal blue stripes in their basins?" Then I realized it's time to update my eyeglasses.
I am particularly fond of the amberish transparent, but stone-like one to the right of the black one with the golden accents.
Thanks for sharing, and for the little nudge to get my trifocals updated. Getting older is a real adventure.
Looks like it was a terrific and successful class.

Great sinks...what fun! I like the blue ones, and the striped one that looks like it got to spend time on a lap grinder...nice edge. And the amber and clear one. They're all beautiful. I have this black and white bathroom that needs come color and a new sink. So when are you coming out East for a sink class?? Or sink and combing?

Yup, these I find very interesting.... what kind of glass, techniques, and cold working? Nosey people want to know.
I really respond to the colors and to the individuality of each. I might want one.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments....they are beautiful and all so different. Thought the shots of so many on a table would be nice. Have many pictures also of individual ones too along with action shots. Lots of ideas and designing went into these sinks. Interesting that some came with the idea of making their sink in a certain design or process then after seeing samples and discussing possibilities many things changed.
Most of the sinks did already have holes drilled and some students decided they wanted to make light fixtures or bowls so no holes planned. We had lots of coldworking equipment (even brought my circle edger polisher up for the class).
Really wonderful people in both class and having the class at Becky's studio "Studio B" was a treat in itself. Hopefully we will get more pictures up on my website real soon.
It was great to have Sandra Toomey, Becky Bergsma and Sterling Gray as my assistants. We haven't scheduled the next classes yet, have to work it into our schedules but we will post when we do (also will be on my website).

Looks like fun Patty, thanks for posting the pictures.
Where did you get the interesting slumping molds?
Ron

Thanks Ron,
The SS molds were custom spinnings for each student's sink. The molds weigh approximately 10 pounds each, not an easy thing to add to their suitcases flying back home. Thank you for the nice comments.

Hey Charlie,
Yes, 2 books worth. Very smooth surface and after it was slumped you can look deep into the glass. Nice pencil polished edge too.

No Fair! I tried to get in but the class was full
Then, to add insult to injury, everyone is posting on what a great time they had and all those pictures of beautiful sinks! Pretty please, Patty, when are you going to have another class?
