What a beautiful demo. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing skills. As always, truly inspiring. I began lampworking in the glass vacuum of the west of Ireland 13 years ago after completing my degree in fine art. So I knew a lot about art but had virtually no practical skills that had been taught at any proficient level. My discovery of Lampworking, allowed skill, technique, curiosity, a little obsession and a whole new level of creativity to enter my life and work. Learning from artists like you through youtube and your books. I owe you my profession. I am immeasurably grateful, continuously inspired and forever humbled with the generous way you share your knowledge. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
@@RAMickelsen the dragon I made came out great but my dragon head looks like an evil pig-dog! But it’s cool 😎thanks for the twisty trick to add color, I already picked up on that and you didn’t have to mention it to me! Lol I’m 60 so I get your humor! Lol been doing this 3 years as a hobby, made mostly marbles, pendants and sculptures till I figured out hollow ! Now I whip up wig wags with little effort! Love your videos, so much better than mine! How do I send you pictures?
Beautiful! I enjoy the voice over with the explanations. I assume this is boro glads and not soft 104. I wonder what temperature the kiln is set to in between adding the fins. Thank you so much!
Curious if you are still hosting classes at your FL studio? I stopped using Instagram a few years ago and that was the place I would see classes advertised. Hope you are doing well, and thank you for this demo! I'm building a new studio near the beach on the Treasure Coast, but once I'm finished this fall I would love to come visit your studio and gallery.
I have retired from formal teaching. But I still will host private one-on-one classes by appointment only. You can email me at ram@mickelsenstudios.com if you are interested in that.

Thank you again for another excellent tutorial/demo. I was curious if you’d take suggestions? Would really love to see a handgun/revolver demo
Not a bad idea! Thanks!
