When I'm shaping the glass, it is intense.  Everything has to happen at just the right time, like a well choreographed dance.  There is no stopping to go freshen up my coffee.  Once I start a piece at 2000 degrees, it has to stay above 1000 degrees the entire time I work it or it will crack. It can be a fine line to walk. Too much heat or too little at the wrong time can mean failure.
