Glass in South Africa

Glass in South Africa

Posted by Max on 4/3/2007
I recently visited South Africa. What a beautiful place. I was there for three months and I spent two weeks in Pretoria, Gauteng. These photos are from a project I did at Tschwane Tech university in Pretoria. I blew glass, did a few slide talks and did some demos about found object art. Thanks to Martli, the head of their glass department. She is the only person teaching glassblowing over there and she is very cool.
 
This may be the holy grail of found objects.
