Bruce was manning the color table the day we went, and keeping track of which ornaments went with which people - not his usual task but we were glad because we really enjoyed chatting with him! Bruce volunteers with Cynthia, and gets glass time in return. Cool beans.
So you decide what colors you'd like, spend some time thinking about what you'd like the ornament to look like - ridges? plain? swirls? Cynthia doesn't do swirls often, because making them hurts her wrist. She grabs a portion of the glass and twists it - stiff stuff! The ridges are formed by pressing the ornament into a metal mold.
