As one kiln door closes another kiln door opens - it has been a revolving door of casting this month. I'm casting for Lynda Draper (Thirroul), technical assistant to Lynette Talbot (Canberra), pouring waxes for Brendan Van Heck (Sydney), fabricating for Svetlana Bailey (NY) and working on 2 small production jobs for Canberra Glassworks. And loving it.
