A few weekends ago Brian got the opportunity to take a glass blowing workshop.
The workshop was only 3 hours, and he thought he would be working pretty small-scale. WRONG! Bring on the full size molten glass!
Here is is rolling it into some colored glass flecks.
It was about a 15 step process and inbetween each step you had to keep it heated in the furnace.
Who needs gloves? Apparently they don't use those...
So cool!

That looks amazing! I would love to try that. I'll bet it's a lot harder than it looks. Was the glass bulb hard to blow?
How cool is that! What did you end up making?
Ingrid - the glass bulb was SUPER hard to start. Some people never got past that stage. However, I had watched a bunch of people fail ahead of me and the first one I blew I popped like bubble gum!
Carla - I made a glass float/ornament sphere. Unfortunately it has to stay in the furnace for 48 hours after you finish and cool down gradually, so I am trying to get it sent to me :)
