    I don’t know why, but, each time we see the view from the back of the furnace towards the bunghole, I expect a looney tunes cartoon to start.

    It's nice to hear the artist himself explaining what's going on as it happens. I wish there was a place close by where I could learn to do this

      There are open access studios all over the world! You can google your area plus glassblowing studio and usually find something. Thanks for watching!

    I know this hot, hard work, but I find it almost hypnotic to watch and am amazed by the final product. You are true artists. Thank you for bringing beauty, talent, and creative vision to life.

    Dear Museum of Glass. This creation is so full of beauty and happiness...... and lets not forget the sweat and muscle.
