<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was this great show called Blown Away on Netflix that really showcased glass blowing.\u00a0 Not something I’ve really thought about, but was intrigued.<\/p>\n
After about a season was starting to think which Clan Members would be into Glass blowing.<\/p>\n
The one we came up with is William T Sherman.<\/p>\n
Here’s that snippet<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Uly blinked a few times, then paused before he asked.\u00a0 “Are you sure?”<\/p>\n
“Yeah.”<\/p>\n
“Okay.”\u00a0 He was a General.\u00a0 He logistically moved hundreds of thousands of men.\u00a0 He could figure how to pull this off for his Mate.\u00a0 \u00a0Billy didn’t ask for much, not really.\u00a0 \u00a0When he got antsy he would go hiking, sometimes rock climbing said it calmed his mind.\u00a0 He really didn’t have hobbies, so if he wanted to do this – Grant would find out how to fuck to get a kiln and where to put it.\u00a0 “We can ask that nice construction guy that is part of the clan, about building a workshop.”<\/p>\n
“I’m not quite there yet, Uly.”\u00a0 Sherman grinned at his Mate. “I’ve took an introduction class.\u00a0 I’m going to sign up for more, and there’s actually university that teach this.”<\/p>\n
“Really?” Not something he would’ve thought of, but it works.\u00a0 “Do we need to figure out how to get transferred to be near one of them?”<\/p>\n
“Lucky for us, there’s one only an hours drive away.”\u00a0 Billy grinned, getting excited now that Uly was on board.<\/p>\n
Grant nodded, plans formulating in his head.\u00a0 “I want the first piece you make.”<\/p>\n
Sherman laughed, leaned over and kissed his Mate then pulled out a decent looking whisky glass.\u00a0 It was a mix of different blues, and slightly leaned to the left.\u00a0 The thickness wasn’t perfect but it was the most beautiful thing he had seen.\u00a0 Uly picked it up gently, felt the weight behind it.\u00a0 “It’s pretty.”<\/p>\n
There was a snort.\u00a0 “It’s lopsided but damn it was fun.”<\/p>\n
“So glassblowing it is.”\u00a0 Uly pulled his Mate close to him.\u00a0 “Still going to call that nice construction worker, and ask about a workshop.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
