I have no idea about glass blowing intact I'm just fourteen but I'm really interested. Does it make for a good career money wise or is it like a past time thing for when you are off work? And where do I learn how college courses?

@xxRANDOMxASITxGETSxx I would start out as a hobby and build from there. There is not much money to be made at the beginner level. Like pretty much any field, those who master their field will be the ones to make really good money. But to master any field takes years of experience. Even as a hobby though you will love working with glass. There may be some glass schools near you. If not you might find a flameworker nearby who will share the basics with you to get started.

i am new to lampworkin, and i wasdondering what your take on devardi glass. also what glass you prefer.

[TimiaGlass]

@destine1992 I had not heard of Devardi. Looking at their web site it looks interesting and the price is pretty good. It might be worth trying some of their glass. I use borosilicate and usually buy from GlassCraft or Mountain Glass Arts.
