THE BIG QUESTION
What is Glassblowing?
Glassblowing is the ancient art of molding molten glass. Zen Glass Studio is equipped for both lampworking and traditional ‘hot shop’ glassblowing.
Lampworking, the primary type of glasswork done at Zen Glass, involves using a bench mounted torch to melt glass tubing and rod for shaping.
Hotshop Glassblowing is a technique using a long metal blow tube to gather molten glass out of the furnace, then reheating inside of the glory hole to then shape by turning in wet newspaper or wooden blocks and blowing.
