As a Doctor Who fan, I would LOVE to see this. Also, you're essentially doing what I dream to do except I'd be producer/writer because I don't like directing. Umm, I don't really have any questions, but if you would like a guest writer/Irish actress/whatever, I would do what I can! I'm going to share this with my friends :)

I'm 17 and Irish, but glassblowing has always fascinated me (as well as metal working - I read a few fantasy books by Tamora Pierce where people have magical powers relating to inanimate objects and one character was a glassblower and another was a smith, it triggered a curiosity). This was helped by watching a documentary by Dale Chihuly in an art class, and I love the shapes and colours.

Do you have any resources you would recommend for someone interested in glassblowing but nowhere near anywhere that has classes? Are there any videos or books you would recommend that could tide me over until I get somewhere that I can try it out?

Also, what do you think of other types of glass work such as Murano and carving cooled glass (like with Waterford Crystal)? Do you ever experiment with them as well?
