7: Glassblowing
' It can be extremely frustrating. It's a hell of a material to work. You get terrific highs and terrific lows, you know, and sometimes you would like to give it up and walk away but it lures you back.' George Elliott is fascinated by the colours and shapes of primitive glass. As a studio glass-blower who works by himself, he is free to experiment with his own design. We see him making goblets and hear something of the pleasures and frustrations pf handling molten glass.
