University of Louisville glass student, M.L. attempts to create a life-sized glass suitcase using the plaster blow-mold technique.
This was M.L's first experience handling a significant amount of glass. Though initially unsuccessful, after a few more tries, and with the assistance of some U of L glass students and faculty, M.L. was eventually able to execute the suitcase in glass.

Completed in 2007, the Cressman Center for Visual Arts hot glass studio was designed and fabricated by University of Louisville glass students and faculty.

  • no heat shields baby! thats what i'm talking about!

  • another gather would have helped but i think it would have been more beneficial if large "bits" for lack of a better term, should have been added to either side and then melted in so that there would be more material on the sides to fill the mold........  very ambitious mold though...

  • yea baby, take another gather. that looked like fun. Glad you were able to get one to come out - must have been tricky with that mold shape.

  • that instructor is hella cool

  • awesome mold!

  • wow, That was interesting, I like how the glass went spewing all over coming from the furnace @ the start.

    That is how glass is though, alot of work for nothing sometimes.

    Its the experiance though?

    or is it the nature of the beast;o)

  • Better than the Christopher Walken version, and I never thought I'd say that.
