I talk about where to buy your Glass and tools to blow glass in your own studio or home.
Note: Ventilation for only $200 is from spending $150+ on the fan itself and less then $50 on sheet metal to fabricate the Hood. Buying a fully fabricated hood can cost upwards of $300 for the Hood alone.

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.
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.
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.
Please join me on this adventure. Remember to turn on notifications for my channel after you subscribe so it alerts you of the next video.

Red elvis is my favorite ruby. The guy who makes it sent me a bunch of his shorts and expirimentals one time, it was some awesome colors like that dbl mai tai and some super sparkly striking moss color
What a rock star. Great video! I love seeing crafts people who are actively supportive and helpful to pass these skills on to others.
Thank you Relfyem! I'm working on my oil lamp video next. It's a very cool project, I think it should interest beginner lampworkers with something fun to make.
@@MattJasa Can't wait. Although I have a fair few more of your videos to get through first! ;)
@@relfyem Don't worry work at your own pace. An adventures reward is the journey.
Thanks for the support Matt! 🙏 Great video!
I guess I'm into a new hobby now.
I live not far from Mountain Glass, they are hands down the easiest and friendliest retailer to deal with. Super cool people and a great company.
Fantastic video Matt, and beautiful vase.
Thanks Matt
Your Welcome!
This is a really good video for beginners! thx!
Matt, thanks for this GREAT video. It was quite informative. Unlike the 14 year-old mentioned earlier in the video, I'm approaching retirement and looking to start in on this as a hobby. You have given me a lot to think about and I appreciate the information!
Awesome glad to see it helps, I find its a great hobby for everyone. Crafting in general helps sharpen the mind along with the hands.
You can get a lot of stuff from Craig's list and you can build your own kiln for under 100 bucks if you're creative. Also check welding supply shops for the oxygen tank
Your videos are really cool and this video is really helpful thank you
I love your videos, there super helpful!! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you :D
Check out whale apparatus in Hellertown Pennsylvania .great prices great selection and a great staff I'm local to them so they let me and anyone else who walks in to shop the warehouse. And I literally mean shop the warehouse. If you stop in you'll think your at the wrong place because you'll be standing in a little lobby looking at sales and secretary desks but dont turn around and walk out like I started to do before someone asked me if I was there for glass supplies and pointed for me to go through the office into a big warehouse room filled with glass and of all kinds and tons of supplies from rolls and torches to all kinds of carbon rods and sheets and tons of insulation and other odds and ends. They really take care of us locals. Knowing I'm working on a small budget with a big love of glass art they fle sure look out with killer pricing thats even better then advertised check them out online or walk in if your close by.
First love the vids
Hey matt! I also just subscribed and i am a blacksmith. I was wondering if my propane forge burner would be any good?
It might work for Soft Glass, but for Borosilicate you will want oxygen to boost the temperature. Soft glass is also harder to start with, It pops and cracks more easily.
Great video just an fyi purr glass has a 700$ starter kit with tools torch tubes and some glass plus the glasses great to look into for beginers bc u don't have to source everything
Hey Jackle, I think starter kits are great to have available, most of the items are needed, usually most kits will have an item or two you might not use depending on your set-up. However if you make your own "kit" you most likely will waste more money on un-needed stuff as its hard to know ahead of time what your really going to use.
I checked the starter kit you mentioned, it looks pretty solid. However I don't see any clear glass and you will want UV eye protection (shade 2 or 3) along with Didymium.
Thanks for the comment, have a great day! :D
woah ventilation will definitely be $500+. hoods alone cost close to 1k. I recommend getting a torch you wont need to upgrade, as it will save you money in the long run.
I put my hood together with AC ducting parts I bought at the hardware store. I'm no metal expert but I think it turned out well. I'll have to do a ventilation video and go more in depth about that.
ARE YOU DOING GLASS FULL TIME OR YOU HAVE A PART JOB
I had a job (non-glass related) for several years to build up my studio. Now that everything is paid for I just have Overhead costs (gas, glass, and electricity). So I quit my job and i'm transitioning to self employment.
