Today I'm so proud to feature my rising glass star artist, ... my son, Drew. These are three of the 6 pieces he made during his very first blowing glass lesson. They are incredible...
Wow, give a kid a choice, and he will go to town. Andy Cohn, Drew's glass blowing teacher, said we should be really impressed with the work Drew is turning out. Not knowing what to expect from glass blowing (one art form I have never attempted), I replied "He's got it in his blood!" Well, it's true. I am so proud of him!! Andy is so impressed, and said she's never had a student like Drew before, who just steps right in like he knows what he's doing... at his age, no less! (He just turned 15)
We put several pieces for sale at Austin's Gallery, (in hopes he can start putting some $ towards his lessons!), and he was so funny. He called me within 30 minutes of putting them in the gallery to see if anything had sold yet :o) I'm not sure we even had a customer in that 30 minute timeframe. I told him that Father's Day is right around the corner, plus, there are many people that collect paperweights!

I'm certain it will have it's challenges (mainly for me... I'm not big on caked mud hands :o), but I'm so excited to see what more my artsy boys will create. Kyle is my amazing drawing artist. I will post photos of Kyle's work very soon.
And, stay tuned, for I'm planning a giveaway later this week!! I have been working nonstop on an order for a new gallery in Arizona I'm going into, and one line I've worked on nonstop for 5 days... making a whole batch... one might just come your way! Check back very soon!
