Our Process of Hand Blowing Glass
  • Glass is heated to a molten state, 2000 degrees in a crucible and checked for purity.
  • Molten glass is gathered in a glob at the tip of the blowpipe.
  • This taffy like glob is then shaped and fashioned with special tools.  One factor that makes blowing unique is that you cannot touch it!
  • Air is blown into the pipe creating a bubble.  Often a team of artists is required to blow and form the glassart and a glory hole is used to reheat the piece as necessary.  Glass blowing, although    time intensive, requires speed and expertise as it cools down quickly.
  • The handblown piece is spun or swung on its blowpipe to achieve the desired effect while inflating.
  • Patterns, colors, and flat bottoms are added to make that unique, one of a kind glass artwork.
  • The piece is cured in an annealer starting at a temperature of 1000 degrees cooling down to 90 degrees over the course of 30 hours.  This insures that the hand blown art is hard, durable, and all stresses are removed.  The piece is again checked for purity.
  • Cold work on the art includes grinding sharp edges with a diamond grinder.  
  • Glassblowing a time-honored technique since 50 B.C.!
