Clare Gaylard Glass 

My studio is almost ready but there is the small matter of a very old and valuable sash window that has been painted shut for thirty years or so. Effective ventillation is an essential part of working with glass so while that is being worked out I draw, paint, cook and we make birthday cakes with increasingly elaborate fondant icing details. The children benefit but I'm ready to set up outside with a Hothead torch as soon as the weather permits.
