What's new this month...!
I will be using this page in the future to explain some of the
mechanics in blowing glass art. Most asked question, " Do you like it HOT?"
YEAH! I AM A GLASSBLOWER, WE LIKE IT HOT!" It is a hot job! Second question I
get the most. "Do you ever get burned? YEAP! We all do ever once in a while I
have even caught a shoe on fire once. "That is WHY I dance when I blow glass."
"
Glass blowing is a great art. Some don't like to be hot and it is hard
work. However, it is creating something in the glass. I look at the
glass and try to decide what it is going to be when I have just a bubble.
I visualize elephants, vases, fish, bowls, etc. Glass blowers think what
colors would look good and what they are going to make before it is anything but
hot glass on the end of a pipe. We see it in our mind and then create it.
I love to make special gifts. Ask me and I will make something special
for your loved one or a wedding. Last wedding they are still talking about
the custom bowl with a castle and heart on it and the bride and groom's name.
It was very nice.
