Hi, not sure if same post already posted so I apologize if this is a repeat. Anyway, I am new to all of this also, and I'm sure an experienced person might know without having to ask, but I was wondering if you used a kiln to bend the beautiful piece of blue glass in this picture. If so, how big or how small of a kiln; is it a simple one to operate or complex? The reason I ask is because I have had several ideas of my own that I have been playing around with in my head for a while now, and I was just wondering about that kind of thing. Thanks, and I love this piece!
