Sydney Cash talks about teaching a glass-bending class for NYEGW at Mulberry Street. Oral history interview with Sydney Cash, March 22, 2018, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:57.

Sydney Cash: I taught some classes at UrbanGlass. I taught a couple of classes, like weekend classes, and people would fly in around the country. They’d learn how to make a little kiln and how to bend glass. And the second time I did it, they didn’t order the right fire bricks, so instead of these soft ones they were hard. And I said, ‘Oh no, they said we can’t do it, what are we gonna do with it, we can’t get them—this is—it’s Friday night, you know these—but you’d better use them.’ So I used them. So we made the kilns; we did everything. We would make the elements, we’d put it all together and they’d do a couple of firings. So Sunday night, everybody’s done, they’re taking their kilns apart. They take it off the table, there’s these big burn marks underneath [laughs] where the kilns were. And we didn’t know any—you know, they didn’t know, but—so I never got invited back again, and I think that was fine.
