Billets, used in glass casting

I tagged along Friday with my glass artist kiddo Nora on a trip to Bullseye Glass, an art supply store in Santa Fe.

Nora makes stuff out of glass for their jewelry business, and needed to stock up. After a busy week, I needed to not work, and have fun instead. We went to our favorite Santa Fe lunch stop, and then art supply store!

I’ve been going to art supply stores my whole life – with Dad when I was a kid, with wife Lissa, and now with Nora. I love them. They are so full of promise, of raw materials awaiting the touch of the artist, the mixing and remaking and shaping, of reifying, of making real.

This was my first time at the glass store. Glass is especially alluring.
