Time well spent

I was browsing Uwajimaya for some delicious items when i ran into David Huchthausen. To bring everyone up to date, the reason i moved to Seattle some time ago was because the posititon that i was offered by him in regards to his studio. I was offered a position to run his studio, which i accepted and 5yrs later here i am in seattle, but to make a long story short, his Studio is where i learned every facet to Cold Working glass, to this day the time and experience i attained at the studio was priceless. I have moved on since then but still cherish the time spent.
Anyhow he asked if i had any free time to which i informed him that i had only weekends due to fulltime work during the week and my studio in the evenings. He accepted and said he would love for me to put some time in on the weekends. So i started spending some time in the studio on the weekends. It hit me when i walked in that i had a connections with his pieces because i had made almost 3 years worth of gallery work for him. I would begin them and see them all the way through.
The pieces take roughly 3-4 months per piece to make because of the nature of his pieces. Upon entering the studio it was like seeing lost children, I hadnt seen some the pieces and the newer pieces for some time in the stages of being fabricated, they all look like diamonds in the rough waiting to be touched, worked, machined and designed and polished.
