Rather than definite New Year resolutions I make a list of things I would like to accomplish once Christmas is over. Well,here it is 6 months later and I am yet to attack my list, it is not for want of doing, it is purely due to a distinct lack of time.
Also due to allowing life to take me on adventures that aren't scheduled in, for example, with a little over 2 weeks notice I escaped for a fortnight in Murano. Yes Murano, centre of the glass universe. What a glorious time it was too!
I attended a workshop at Abate Zanetti Scuola that was jointly led by Ellena Rossa of Murano and Fiona Rennie Schweiters of New Zealand. What an experience that was!
To be able to view Murano from the inside rather than as an outsider was a real privilege.
I can highly recommend Villa Lina B&B if you ever have the need to stay on Murano. The hostess Evi Ferro Nason is a delight. The picture above is a view from window across the canal showing the glow of forno.
The things I learnt about glass, myself and life in general, during this time are certainly invaluable. Can't wait to get back there.
