- Questions answered, Boxes open, bubbles blown all on this episode! Glassblowing and Lamp working, a lens into the art and functionality of glass through science and experimentation. A journey for the mind and tranquility for the soul.
Hello, I'm Matt Jasa. If you are interested in learning about Glass blowing or Lamp working my channel offers a lot of advice on the techniques, tools, and general safety. Make Artistic pieces (animals, marbles, pendants), scientific items, and blown functional glass. Put your mind to it and with practice you can make anything!
Some more specific projects you might find on this channel are Glass Chain Necklaces, Glass Pendants, Marbles, Magnifying Glasses, Glass on Glass Fittings ( GonG ) and Blown Spheres. I also use small explosives from time to time for scientific tests; however these eplosive projects should never be attempted at home, safety is my highest precaution! Never attempt glass blowing without proper ventilation and eye protection.
Check out my videos on setting up your glass blowing torch along with how to adjust for the right flames; such as neutral, oxidizing and reducing flame before you begin. Learn how to cut, clean and prepare your glass for future projects.
Never store your propane in-doors, Always keep propane tanks outside! Propane gas is heavier then air, if a leak occurs it will begin to pool and fill a closed room or basement which can lead to an explosion.
If you have any questions about glass blowing, lamp working, or this video please leave them in the comment section down below. I may not respond immediately as I'm mostly busy in the glass shop but I'll get to it as soon as I can. If I don't respond to your question I might have missed it; please re-comment the question on the relative video.
Please join me in this exciting journey to see what can be done with glass. I create these videos to enrich others in the process; teach them to create their own works, but also for everyone else to enjoy the unique perspective and spectacular show that science/nature can provide.
I put a lot of work and time into each video. Most projects require 1 to 2 hours to complete in the shop and then several more editing the footage while adding voice-over. I've worked on some videos well through the night and into the next morning. So help me bring glass blowing and lamp working to others; please share this video on your social feed, be apart of the awesome journey.

Thanks for checking out this video! Even though its a few years old it contains a lot of useful information. I'll be revisiting some of this information along with Kiln Usage in my next video of the current year (2020). Link -- [Not Yet Posted]
I just discovered your stuff. I love how your brain works. I am learning much and enjoying it. Thanx so much
Thanks Matt for such an informative and educational video on those three different types of glass. I worked with Quartz (fused silica) and Borosilicate in a scientific/Laboratory setting for many years and it's good to see you continuing this art form. I just discovered your channel so I am pretty stoked and excited to see your videos. Keep up the good work brother.
Hey David! It's always great to meet other glass workers. I do have some Quartz but its incredibly hard to work with, It takes so much heat. All my work has been with borosilicate so far. Thanks for watching and commenting, i'll do my best to 'pass the torch'.
just found your channel, glad to see there is more people puting out useful info for noob, after revere stopped its been slow. much appreciated brother
Thank you! Glad you find it helpful. I focus mainly on info for beginners or a general audience, but from time to time I like to attempt some wilder projects to keep things exciting. If you have any questions fire away!
@@MattJasa I just got some glow in the dark frit, ive never used frit or glow in the dark material before, is there anything i could watch out for?
@@BrotherBmp3 The glow frit seems like a new thing to hit the market (at-least for me) so I'm not quite sure how to work it yet.
Has it been doped into clear glass frit already or is it pure powder? Be extra careful not to inhale it, glass frit always has a bit of glass dust trapped with it.
@@MattJasa its a powder, didnt think of the damage it could do, ill report back my findings
@@BrotherBmp3 It might be Strontium Aluminate[SrAl2O4]. Try not to raise the temperature above 1090°C/1994°F. I'm not sure how its going to react to the glass, I'm thinking you might need to dilute it into clear frit sort of like making Koolaid.
Thanks for explaining..i need all information i can get
Got 0 experience but will be buying small kit
Lmao, this vid is three years old and i just started using Fade to black. It's dope, one of my favorite colors. Encased its a nice white. Outside worked it's crazy! Whites, blues, blacks, browns, i love it. Cool vid! Still need a color rack. Everything is in one drawer still lol not a fan
Yeah its very unique. It not only strikes different colors BUT can strike back to black! Great for sculptural work. I used it in the recent Skeleton Key video. Thanks for watching and good luck on your glass journey! May your work always be solid and cracks few to far between.
Nice i think it.
Hey Cobra, I still use the color rack but I need a better solution for clear, those small drawers are getting packed with scraps.
Is BORO better than soft glass for color and clarity?
I'm not sure how it compares in clarity, but for color I feel it depends more on the company. There's been an increase in Boro color making lately so there's a large selection to choose from.
@@MattJasa thanks man, I’m getting back into glass work. I’ve only ever used soft glass. Just curious the advantage of boro over the soft glass type
@@timcapell The thermal expansion in Boro is lower so its a bit more stable. It tends to snap rather than shatter so you'll have larger chunks with less jagged edges. It also needs a bit more heat, but should be easier to work with.
Note to self don't play with knives and magnets
Very true. I wasn't initially aware of how strong it is. It's the most powerful magnet I've personally encountered. I take good precaution now and keep it separated from everything else.
