[SerotoninSimulation]

Hey, i love your work, what size tubing did you use for this?

[Wownerd1382]

You should give that to me lol

[matt1648]

how did u do the twist of color in the neck of the pipe at 6mins,............sick work on the pipes keep it up 

[Glassblower718]

@matt1648 Basically two colors are heated and twisted like a candy cane... thanks...

[SerotoninSimulation]

@Glassblower718 wait.... but then how do you get them INSIDE and still have a tube and not a solid rod?

[SkandranonOwens]

i dont like the way he blew out the bowl it seems much more fragile there than if he had made it lonegr to begin

[Glassblower718]

Check out my video's... I'm going to post a nice piece from start to finish soon...

[HolisticPlantHealth]

@Glassblower718 Can't wait, I'm glad I came across your channel.

[MrMalevolent]

Wow, so many people saying they want to learn... I was thinking of taking classes about 2 months ago, but I then I thought it was too difficult. I came to learn that glass blowing using the glory hole technique is not how people make similar pieces to the one you made. And the torch technique seems a lot less dependent on partnering with someone. So my vigor to learn has been renewed. But it does seem expensive to start up and classes seem to cheapen the tradition/trade. What say you on this?

[Glassblower718]

@MrMalevolent This style of Glassblowing is called "Lampworking". Most people that learn usually work as an apprentice first then go off on their own... Taking a class can help you to see if it's something you really wanna learn... It's harder then most people think...

[MrMalevolent]

@Glassblower718 I see, I see. Good to know the term. I think a class can be a big rip off, especially in my expensive city. On the other hand, there aren't many peopl who would want to take one the burden of an apprentice in this modern day. I can only imagine the level of dedication it takes, I don't think any craft is "easy". May I ask how long you've been lamp-working?

[Glassblower718]

@MrMalevolent I learned the various glass sculpturing techniques from my grandfather... I've been at it a long time... I was never in it for the money because I'm okay

in that area... so these days i'm retired...

[MrMalevolent]

@Glassblower718 I understand. That is actually quite a beautiful thing, learning from your own grandfather. Lamp working seems very relaxing, but of course I've never done it myself, so it could just be that I'm not the one sitting behind that excruciatingly hot flame. I've seen horses and cats and other figures made in glass blowing videos, is that or similar also possible with lamp working or does this technique not allow such?

[Glassblower718]

@MrMalevolent yes, all those techniques fall under the category of Lampworking... Glassblowing is a term reserved for furnace work but we call it all "Glassblowing" so people will have a idea of what were talking about... lol

[MrMalevolent]

@Glassblower718 That sounds great, I would love to make a glass ship for my girlfriend's mother. Her dad used to build ships in bottles, and now she collects them in his memory. But that's just one of the many ideas I'd love to see come to fruit. Once one learns proper safety and torch handling do you think he could learn technique from simply watching videos?

[Glassblower718]

@MrMalevolent It depends on the person... some take longer than others.. but most just give up...

[MrMalevolent]

@Glassblower718 Give up after spending so much on supplies... well I guess they could sell their things or if they took a class, they don't really need to worry about supplies; but it seems like such a waste. Would you say there is a point in lampworking if you aren't using it to make money? I mean I wanted to do it as strictly a hobby at first, but my girl says I would end up needing extra cash to fuel the hobby in the first place. Any expertise on that idea?

[Glassblower718]

@MrMalevolent you can do it either way... me ? It's a hobby now...

[MrMalevolent]

@Glassblower718 Did you sell your creations at one time or another? I hope you don't mind me asking.

[Sunnygirl3833]

...so where did you learn to do this and how might one learn this skill?

[meglon09]

real nice, i hope someday i can make some. :)
