constant overhead involved in
firing a glass furnace 24/7.
While at Penland, Harmon was
introduced to the technique of

serendipity of hot glass
creation and the advantages of
a flexible schedule because a
computer runs the kiln, taking
care of the most time
consuming aspects of creation.
Thus no helper was needed, no
outrageous gas bill to stress
about, and still reaping the
creative opportunities
afforded by hot glass.
