January 30, 1994

Burned my hand in the hot shop. Even though it has a hunk of molten glass on the end of it, handling a blow pipe is relatively safe... as long as you don't touch it too close to the end. On this day I put a hand on the pipe a little too far down and was punished for it. Nothing serious, just a first degree burn that left my hand extra sensitive to the excess heat in that studio for the rest of the day.
