@marissa32 most offhand glassblowing is done with "soft glass", this is not the type of glass nor the style of glass blowing used to make pipes and bongs (that would be "lampworking" and the glass type used is borosilicate.).
@chenshiwei yes, it's extremely poisonous in its raw material form; because it can contain extremely carcinogenic materials like lye. Heavy respirators are usually worn when loading, or 'charging,' as it's called, the furnace. Once the materials have fused into molten glass; it's perfectly safe to work with unprotected.
Awesome!!!
