More raw glass is being added to the piece to create different elements of the overall design.
Here you can see various tools being used to expand one end of the glass piece. Before this point, the glass piece was transferred from one rod to another so that one end could be opened.
More tools are being used to create the desired shape.
More shaping.
Here we can see tools being used by both artists to help shape the glass.

Woodham looks the finished piece over before it is placed in a slow cooler for perhaps 24 to 36 hours.
