Who would guess what you find in an Alpaka Centre in Cumbria!

Hi

We have been out today a break form the plumbers / electricians / paint and the like..

Don’t ask but I ended up at the Alpaka Centre and on display in their shop was the work of a guy who puts together fused glass and wood turning...

It is absolutely beautiful and I thought I would share it with you... it certainly gets the thought /idea process going in the old head...

There's so much more to Alpakas than meets the eye, gorgeous, thanks for sharing Kevin.

I'm pretty sure you were there for the wood turning shop next door though right ? ;)

Those are indeed some lovely bowls.

Yeh your right ....see other post about going out to buy a mirror and ending up in the wood shop... do I
guess it’s a regular of yours?

I wouldn't say a regular Kevin but when I'm heading back west from the M6 I usually nip in if it's open, just incase there's something juicy on the oddbits shelf.

Hi Kevin thought you might like to see slumped glass in a table top, my mate George is a famous Woodworker in Hobart Tasmania.

That’s beautiful I always admire the skill of others....It must be great to be able to mix two skills.. I have tried fused glass work.... but glass and I don’t get on it’s not forgiving enough!

But I am thinking of how I could maybe Recycle items and add them to turned things I try to make... I love the idea of reusing something that might otherwise go to waste and give it a new life...

I don’t intend selling anything it’s all about the hobby and the fun of making..
