The glass blower's work
Saturday Self Challenge: Take a photo of a subject or place that reminds you of good memories, be it a souvenir, place where you took a vacation or memento of a special family event.
10 years ago I visited a Glassblåseri in Stavanger with a group of women from the Petroleum Wives Club. We watched this actual glass being blown. 2 days later, after the glass had cooled, I collected the piece which has the signature of the glassblower on the base. It was fascinating to watch the skills involved in the shaping, colouring and final cutting of the glass. This glass is now a cherished item, rarely used, but kept in a glass fronted cupboard in the kitchen.

I have watched glass blown in various places and it still enthralls me.
I read the comments on the club name and laughed !
I remember all the petrol industries near Stavanger and the special museum there.
So PWC in it`s first meaning makes sense. I guess, you had a lot of joy with all the group there.
