I have been researching in more depth for the past week which lampworkers and industrial glass blowers to contact and have received a quote from one. This is reassuring, at least I now know the product can be produced. I just sent in a 3rd angle hand drawing, also describing the graduation I would like on the product and the material specification. However the quote is more than I anticipated so a batch of ten would probably be out of the question. I am going to wait two more days until I have received all the other quotes and weigh up which seems the best in terms of service and co-operation. It is a shame that it cannot be a small batch, considering this project focuses on production however in my presentation at the degree show this could be communicated in other ways.
Once I have decided on a quote, hopefully in the next two days I will be able to organise a visit and determine production and lead times. This weekend I aim to photograph some of the items I have collected in relation to measure in order to produce a couple of pages of my measure publication and write the foreword, explaining my intentions, findings and interests.
