I had the opportunity to attend a week long glass class with Gil Reynolds through Fusion Headquarters In Newberg, OR a couple of weeks ago and not only did I try a whole bunch of new things, but I came away with some great new glassy friends! 

One of the techniques I had not tried before was pulling vitrograph.  It involves an overhead kiln that has a hole in the bottom where the glass is pulled and shaped.  We can just say that I don't have a "natural gift" for it, but it was fun and I ended up with some very cool shapes I can use in future projects.

We also made a couple of different types of pattern bars...one over stainless steel bars and one a flow through a trough. I have made pattern bars previously but never ones with these flow patterns!!  Here is the set up (my section is the second from the top in both types).

Here are the bars we made before we cut them apart.

Then a little quality time with the wet saw...

And here are end the end results for mine.  These are my bars than were dropped over the stainless steel rods....

And my flow bars....
