We went to Art in Action yesterday. We didn't have a lot of time there as the organisers of the new Park and Ride system - necessary as a result of waterlogged fields where we normally park - seriously underestimated the numbers and traffic issues, resulting in a 1&1/2 hour wait for a bus for a 3 mile journey! However, we did see most of what we went to see, which was the glassblowing demonstrations. We saw Graham Muir and Layne Rowe blowing, and bought a piece of glass by Martin Andrews and a piece by Scott Benefield.
Here's the link to my picasaweb album of the day. https://picasaweb.google.com/elaine.simons/ArtInAction2012?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMCC4qH2kePpwAE&feat=directlink
And below is the glass we bought.

Lovely Leni.
I do like your Benefield vase, what a great effect from 'simply' overlaying stripes. I see you chose the subtlest variation and to my eye the most interesting of the three shown.
