Glory Hole




Glassblowing will be my new hobby. First of all there is something called the glory hole, which, in fact, is a hole in a 2,100 degree furnace that you insert your glass to re-heat. Secondly, you literally take sand and throw it in the furnace until it becomes liquid hot glass (i was really tempted to say Mag-Ma). Then you blow, sculpt, roll, and repeat until you have something really cool--Like a scotch glass. The quote of the night:
"Nic, you put it in the glory hole for a sec, She will blow, and I'll paddle your bottom"
