I wish more universities would employ their own glass-blowers. My department had to spend almost 3 grand on several custom pieces I needed and they were made in the US. Granted this was 10 years ago and I'm not aware of how many scientific glass-blowers currently operate in the UK so maybe things have changed.

I blow glass in a studio in my backyard. Its a lifestyle with the cost of everything🎉. Im working on building an oxygen concentrator array to supply my own oxygen to reduce the overhead. I create art but greatly admire you scientific folks

You are so lucky to be doing that. I am a metal worker I am a Potter and an amateur chemist and I need to make custom apparatus all the time and I want to learn blast blowing even on a small scale just so I can make some simple things that I need. Unfortunately some of that equipment looks horrifyingly expensive and I'm sure it is is there any advice that you could give me?

Heard borosilicate can be tricky and needs annealing, hoping to procure a kiln and torch soon because I have come by some antique apparatus and some pieces need mending.

I wish my education had a glassblower there to repair (slightly) broken glass and make special pieces. But sadly I can only order from catalogues.

Could someone please help me with a question? I tried to get into glass blowing and it turned out to be a crack. My question is when I was younger there was a glass blower that use to come to the shopping mall in my town. He would make may beautiful things from glass. He would finish them and the customer would take them as soon as they cooled. I watched closely and I never observed him putting the glass creations in an oven to anneal the glass, and they never cracked. When I tried glass blowing myself many years later I was able to make some really nice items but as they cooled they cracked and cracked. Where am I going wrong? I thinking it maybe the kind of glass rods I purchased on the internet. If that is the case what type of glass rods do I need to use to avoid having to purchase an oven to anneal the glass items I make, or is there a step with the torch I am missing? Thank you for any help you can give.

Roger, you need to cool your work with less hot flame. Read more about flame control and where and when it is hotter and cooler. Once you done with working on the glass, depending how big the work is, you need to anneal it with cooler flame. Big works would require proper annealing in a kiln. Also - you must pay attention if the glass you’re using is of the same compostion. If it’s not - then differences in thermal expansion would shatter any attempts of joining them. Get a cheapest glassblowing handbook off the Internet and all this will be explained properly. Good luck!
