Grace的進修雜記:)

The end  goal of the glassblowing course is to make a condenser, but I try very hard to make the T-seal done before working on a condenser.

When I want to take a break of making ring seal amd T-seal, I decide to make the second fish. I have confident person on making some artwork, but not having too much patience on repairing the holes on those joins. 

As you can see the size of the fish is getting bigger when I make the second one. I made a loop for the first one, but I don't think the second one can add a loop fin. It might be to heavy to hang the fish somewhere.

My professor told me that Fear is the greatest enermy of progress. I know that failure cannot stop me to try one more time. Therefore, I will make a condenser soon!

這學期的選修課程我和實驗室的夥伴們相約一起學著吹製玻璃，期末目標是可以製作冷凝器，但是控制火的大小，手拿玻璃的位置，精準判斷何時該銜接兩端的玻璃等等挑戰，讓我的耐心很快消磨殆盡，所以傳說中只需要六段玻璃組成的冷凝器一直都失敗，目前最接近成功的一次只完成到第五段玻璃接好還沒聽到因為溫度變化所傳出的破裂聲。

指導教授說我不能被過程中的失敗擊垮，所以下週會再繼續努力，希望感恩節的長週末能將自信心找回。

目標在四十五分鐘內把冷凝器製作完成！
