Induction to glass blowing
The induction allows me to understand how to use some of the basic equipment for glass blowing. This session was based around the
One person opens the furnace door whilst the other dips the pipe into the molten glass whilst turning.
The glass being rolled on the marver.
Correct procedure when getting ready to shape the glass.
Using tweezers to create a thin ring to help allow the glass to fall off.
Tapping water and cold tweezers onto the thin ring that will assist it to fall off.
Using the back of the tweezers to tap against the pipe to break the glass off cleanly.
