Getting A Foot-In On Glassblowing?
    #8058582 - 02/22/08 10:04 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Do any of you fellow Shroomerites out there blow glass?

If so, how'd you make your entrance onto the scene?

I find the whole thing fascinating, both as a practical, useful skill, as well as a means of expression.  The only problem is that I'm not exactly sure how to go about finding someone in my area to serve under as an apprentice.

I'm really just looking for any advice or helpful hints before I go out to harass people in my search for a teacher, and any wisdom you guys might impart would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance. :bow:

Good vibes. :hippie:

I'm starting a 12 week class pretty soon. Just look around your area for glass institutes/workshops.

Classes can be pretty expensive, so if theres any possible way you could get an apprenticeship or something like that from some one, go for that. Definitely.

you could do a search for glass blowing classes in your area.
Look for someone that does beginner classes.
If you are anywhere near New York, you could look into the Corning Glass Center, they do classes but they are a bit pricey. And you will learn form some of the best. Unfortunately they probablyu wont show you anything about pipe making.
I found an Ebook online a while back called the glass blowers bible that is suppose to be very good (I havent gotten it yet). If I find the link for it I can PM you sometime this weekend.
Peace and good luck.
