THE GLASS BLOWING PROCESS
Gathering
Glass is gathered by inserting the head of the blowpipe into a pot of molten glass in the furnace, and winding the hot glass on like honey.
Shaping
Glass is shaped on the blowpipe by rolling on the marver, using wet wooden blocks, wet newspaper, and hand tools such as jacks, tweezers and shears.
BLOWING
The glass is inflated by blowing through the blowpipe, expanding a bubble inside the soft glass to change its shape and size.
Opening
The glass is transferred from the hollow blowpipe to a punty rod attached to the bottom of the vessel, then the lip is reheated to be opened and refined.
