Frankie Hess

First collab

Posted by Frankie Hess on 1/8/2009

Took a quick trip to Arcata to meet Matt, D, Eric and Lurch for a Collab effort.

Lurch did the pull for the reball on the bottom of the can,(which I forgot to take a pic of) D did the pull for the two reballs just above the bubble on the can and the front of the mouth piece, Matt did the pull for the two reballs above D's in the can, and Eric did the blowin used for the Snorkel and the back of the mouthpiece.

Also D gave me the opal mib on the piece.

I would like to thank everyone for the experience and everything I learned. And Justin, for the tips on speeding up my tube pulls and making a system for doing long pulls by my self. Which I have already implemented and they both worked great!!!!!

So it ended up, me just making a piece with other peeps prep, but it was still a blast!!!!!!!!!!

Artist: Frankie Hess ( )

Fell into glass for self employment purposes and found that I love it. I have always been into some form of expressive art (music, skateboarding, a little bit of drawing and such,lately a little beatboxing) but found that glass has what I need to take my expression to the endless realms I wish to explore. I am excited about stepping out of my box and exploring new possibilities. I will have been on the torch for 5 years in jan 2009. I feel my production experience has paid me dividends, I am now comfortable with glass as a whole and will be aggressively pursuing new paths in my glass blowing career! Thanks to everybody posting your work,it is very inspiring for me to see every post! Thanks to Eusheen, Jason Lee, Marcel, Chris Carlson and El Hefe for the more direct impact your hard work has proven to have on my path whether you know me or not! If I have not met you yet, I will some time hopefully in the near future, and will thank you all in person! Thank You for checking out my work. I will be adding as I afford myself more and more time for new direction of my own. All art for viewing only, not for sale.

That was a fun time!
Lurch: Good to finally meet you in person Frankie! I think you and I have very similar backgrounds and outlooks on glass. I hope our paths cross more in the future! I just got home and will finish assembly of my piece soon.
