Understanding Glass and Heat

This video explores the relationship between glass and heat and how it is measured. I describe stress and what causes it. I go into depth about what the strain, annealing, and softening points are and why they are important. I talk at length about viscosity and its effect on stress. This is basic stuff for all glass artists to understand. Enjoy!

Clear and concise. Thank you for sharing foundational and practical knowledge with the glass community and beyond. I hope that even non lamp workers will be able to better appreciate the dance that is, lamp working/ Glassblowing.

Really needed to know this thanks

As a new glass blower this is so helpful. Seems hard to find technical information readily available about these things. Is there a general consensus on recommended time durations to go with that annealing cycle chart? Thanks in advance, love all the knowledge you are providing to the community!

Clicked on this video because I wanted to know if you could burn small holes in thin glass without it breaking, and even though it did not exactly answer my question, I found it very interesting!

[@RAMickelsen]

How small and how thin? What kind of glass?

[@theeccentricadam]

Thanks! Am I the only one wanting look at glass with my phone and sunglasses?
