Thank you for your demonstration. You provide a very basic and simple process. I'm learning the process and slowly getting better. Please keep posting your glass lamp work. I will continue to watch.
As a novice who is in the throes of all that can go wrong, I find this series particularly helpful and reassuring. Sweet, really. Thank you for explaining everything and showing it all so well.
The didymium lenses of the eye glasses filter out the sodium flare and render that wavelength of light invisible. This is why I look over the glasses instead of through them. The glass almost never shocks because I always heat the rods so gradually.
also to point out the flattening you do on the bead is shown well by a corning museum of glass video demo, that site shows the tools really well (if you are into studio blowing of glass that is).
@leNOIRfae I have a small Paragon kiln. Vermiculite does not anneal. It helps the glass to cool a bit more slowly, but it doesn't soak it in a consistent heat. Vermiculite - cooled glass is still structurally unstable.
@JenineProvidence Cool I'm considering taking up lamp-working as a hobby and your videos are very helpful. What would be the most expensive parts to this hobby apart from the torch itself? Cheers love
Great video! one question... I'm also from prov near the mall.. Was wondering if you could help me find a good Torch and Kiln or if u had old ones u would sell. I love ur videos and think its awesome that u make a Variety of this I'm the same way, you give me a bunch of stuff anything and ill Create something new
I'm the one who lives in this body and I don't tell you what to do with yours. I arrange my torches to cause less stress to my wrists. You seem to enjoy telling others what to do. Have you considered making your own tutorials?
really cool you remind me of my friend carly macarthur who goes to toronto art school i believe. Your cool shit girl love your videos. What kind of torches have you used? thats a bobcat Gtt right :D I'm looking to get into lampwork and just have a stupid hothead would you recommend the bob cat? I want the lynx or phantom... but i'm just starting out and think is to much to learn on.
nice demo, love the safety glasses, but Rapunzel, what about the hair?; plastic? and flame don't mix, even at that length, nice for video, real retro but it might burn onto your head!!
Checking the glass when its glowing hot without glasses is ok to do once in a while. I do it all the time and have seen plenty of professional artists do it as well. Obviously you don't want to have a session and not wear glasses at all. Maybe you should make a safety video for us to watch...
