Glass blowing...

it involves lots of equipment i believe, saw a video on that shit. Looked pretty precise, involves really hot temperatures so if you fuck up you're probably going to the hospital.
I watched a documentary on it on Netflix awhile back, the final results can be astonishing.
I can't remember at the moment but if I stumble upon it I will let you know.

Degenerate Art

&&& @Cheefin - do the classes please & let me know about your experience. I've always wanted to find an apprenticeship somewhere as well so I can learn but I'm pretty sure the classes are expensive as bawlzzzz

You won't be disappointed man. it's knowledge. knowledge is power.
I felt like a fucking boss going into a head shop a few weeks ago to get a new chillum & my buddy was getting a new bowl. talked to the dude about silver fuming / educated this random dude that was in the shop simply because of what I learned in the video / told the dudes about the video & stuff on netflix. chea. I hope you enjoy
Their is a beginner class in my area for around $200 I think. Or at least that is what my friend told me. If I do end up taking the classes I will definitely make an experience thread.User said:ALL OF MY FORUM KORNER FRIENDS!%~@%~@%@

Hell yeah dude that's easily money extremely well spent. I imagine if there's anywhere around Chiraq I'll try to get into a class or two if they're semi-inexpensive like that. An apprenticeship to where I could become like a master glass blower, and do it as a profession would be like an extremely awesome score because I have some pretty cool ideas for some glass... & np. I seen a thread I was interested in, glad I could help
Just watched the whole video and it was awesome. Makes me want to go take the classes today. hahahaUser said:Hell yeah dude that's easily money extremely well spent.

I'm fuckin telling you bro ! knowledge man. learning that art would be so dope.... you know what you hardly ever see?
symmetric pieces/flat glass without curves, like.. imagine having like a bowl, that looked like a shard of glass, that wouldn't cut you.. that you can smoke out of.. that'd be kind of tight.
I seen a bacon pipe once. similar to something like that if you can find it on google images but yeah. I'm glad you enjoyed
I had a friend that made several pieces back in the day. His whole family was into the glass blowing trait. He showed me some of the basics of making decretive pieces. To my knowledge, glass blowing is typically not a trait you just jump into. I say this simply because I experienced the difficulties of being a novice first hand. However, there are beginner kits you can purchase containing all the essentials. All you'd have to do is perhaps take a few classes at a local art school or seek internet based tutorials. I admire your new found business venture. There is a growing market and if done correctly the trait can be extremely lucrative. I wish you and your friend the very best of luck.
