Shayne Nutter and 2 of the 4 Glory Holes in the studio. There is a huge furnace where the molten glass is kept, and a huge annealing kiln along the wall.

Shears, jacks and tweezers, plus folded wet newspaper used as a block
LindaBCool:
Wood blocks - they look like big spoons

Work station - Notice the black tubing on the bench... that's what you use to blow air into a piece

Color chips - I chose transparent aqua and purple, with opaque purple
