I feel right at home. I've worn glasses most of my life.

Hahaha I feel goofy wearing the uv reduction glasses when I blow glass.....they are totally 50s nerd status haha....im tryin to save up for the ones that look like the newer types of sunglasses but they r expensivvve.

My boyfriend does glass blowing! We haven't been able to sell anything, but we can make vases, and little animals, and wind chimes and all kinds of stuff!

There's a huggge market for blown glass. Unfortunantly its mainly pipes and the like. If u wanna make money blowing glass or not that's the way you have to turn these days. I however have seen several people using them for tabacco believe it or not even the waterpipes I myself actually use them to smoke my sweet and burley tabacco. Makes it much smoother. So at least some people use them for not so bad purposes.

Do you just do blown glass or other types of fused glass? I make jewelry and always on the lookout for cool fused glass pendants.
