In my first glass blowing class, I made a small circular sculpture. Watch this video if you want to see what it looks like in a hot shop glass studio. I explain the basic glass blowing processes as I learned from this introductory course.

You are a true renaissance man! You have totally impressed me with the stained glass thing. That made me think that you could do anything and now you do this?? Glass blowing...WOW! I guess that I have to say that I am beyond impressed. I'm trying to think of a challenge that I could give you. Not a challenge on the level of climbing Mt. Everest , but something that could possibly stump you. I'll be thinking. Keep the windows open. You'll know that I'm thinking by the smell of the smoke that my brain gives off when I really try to think.

Let me know when you figure it out. I'll give you a hint. I'm not too good at automotive stuff.

Most interesting Tom, thanks for showing us. Incidentally, I've noticed that glassblowers often cover their right arm; was there any explanation of why they do that? Cheers mate, very enjoyable vid.

I have watch the Netflix show but haven't noticed covering their arm. Maybe to protect it as it gets close to the fire? I have to be on the lookout for that.

That was very cool! I'd never considered a glass blowing class before....now I gotta do it. I also liked the glow in the dark stuff. How does your globe look like in the dark? Thank you for the video!

Really highly surprised that there are no blowing black glass bottles videos on KZfaq.

Jesus Mary and Joseph, now he’s glassblowing. What next, juggling flaming darts?

LOL - Actually, I do know how to juggle. I used to juggle flaming tennis balls. You apply some rubbing alcohol and light them up. Any other challenges? That one was too easy :-)
