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 explosive 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.
Studio Setup: Bethlehem Bravo Main-torch, GGT Bobcat Hand-torch, Invacare oxygen concentrator setup variable 10 LPM to 30lpm at 9psi. Ventilation hood with 12" 1000+cfm exhaust fan. 50 Watts LED hood lighting. Eye Protection of Shade 3 and 5 (face mask) UV protection along with dydinium glasses to block sodium flare.
recommended borosilicate glass sizes: Blowtube = 12mm (2mm wall), Small tube = 26mm(4mm wall), Large tube = 38mm (4mm wall). Also ~9mm solid rods
Frit: Extra caution must be taken when working with Frit. The dangers of inhaling glass dust may lead to the lung disease silicosis. Even medium and large size Frit may contain large amounts of glass dust from the sifting process. The tumbling action in the sifter may leave a charged force in the glass causing dust to cling to it. I don't recommend Frit use for beginners.

Glad to see a new upload! :D I love seeing these
your videos are so good, you explain everything so well.
love your work as allwase mate
These videos have helped me a tonne as I’m just getting into lampworking. Appreciate these!
Awesome Julian, I'm glad to hear. Best of luck on your glass journey!
I’m new to this - and working on stringers and spheres - this answers a lot of questions! Thank you
Your welcome Rusty Woods. Comment with any questions you may have as you get going, also make sure to double check your safety and of course enjoy your glass journey!
I enjoy ur videos even more cuz u have a bravo. I love mine n love seeing other people use um
So many great tips in this one. The tip about cadmium is especially useful for me!
Awesome, glad it was helpful. Best of luck on your glass journey!
Thanks Matt
Melty...
😻
Awesome
I really enjoyed this video
Thank you!
Momkas blue and green flambe are my favourites
I love it! Im gonna start lampworking soon and im trying to decide where to start!, learning to pull stringers seems like a very basic place to start, what do you recommend!!? Awesome video
Yes defiantly stringers are a good start. It is basic, but fundamental for most art projects. Also at the same time practice gathering clear glass into spheres. You can combine the two techniques to create marbles. Thanks for watching!
Yes, stringers is a great place to start
Matt Jasa keep it up!!! Thanks!
when you're pulling stringers in bulk & storing them away for a future project. do you need to put them in the kiln to be annealed?
That's a good question I didn't think about that when I made the video, but no I don't think it would be necessary. Their so thin there's no where to build stress, and whatever stress is in it should dissipate with the heat as you use it later. Thanks for watching!
Matt Jasa awesome! thanks for the quick response & thank you for the videos. they have been a big help in my journey
Hi Matt, be learning a lot from your work and explanation. I do have a question about a possible technique. Is it possible to take a a small glass figure you make and squish it between 2 molten glass gathers in order to encase the small figure without necessarily doing an emplosion?
Yea that should work to encase it, depending on the shape of the figure you might trap some air or disfigure it before its fully encased. I've seen something like that done for soft-glass paper weights. Implosions are slightly different from encasements. The color gets pulled and stretched through the glass as it implodes inward. Dots turn into lines, and lines stretch out like flower petals.
@@MattJasa to limit any air I would try to make a more pointed gather, almost like the shape you made in your vortex marble video. Something I will have to try once I get my torch in
@@kodyfrost Yea making it more pointed should help. Let me know if you run into any problems setting up. Happy melting!
Hi, thanks for your useful videos.
could you please help me by answering a question? I'm working with Murano glass and it break when I work on it and start to explode sometimes during the work. how could I resolve this problem?
Hey imaNeda Venice, Soft glass is more sensitive to heating and cooling. You can warm it slowly by jabbing it in-and-out of the flame real quick before you work with it. Also keep it warm until it gets into the kiln or it might crack.
I use borosilicate in my videos except for this one which is Murano Effetre: ruclips.net/video/hfCCwSlV9qY/видео.html
@@MattJasa thanks a lot for your reply... have a grate day 😊
Reactive=striking?
Striking is the act of changing the color. To change your reactive rod you strike it in the flame or kiln. You can strike a rod multiple times, each time causes it to become darker in saturation.
Can u do a video where u enase an opal in clear glass
Sure I can give it a try. I'll need to order some opals first and give it a little bit of practice. I know exactly how its done, I've just never practiced it before.
Thanks !ive been learning so much from your channel keep up the good work 💯
@@gabrielaguilar8108 I might order the 3mm spheres and coin opals to keep it small. Is there any specific ones you were looking at?
Yes those are exacly the ones im trying to work with
Where can i order those also ?
this method does not work with soft glass
Sorry Enrico, my channel mainly focuses on hard glass. I recently ordered some some soft glass to practice with. I plan to introduce some soft glass into the channel eventually.
