Lampworking or Flameworking is a form of glassblowing that involves a propane oxygen torch that allows the artist full control over the heat of the glass. Learn glassblowing by taking note of each step and keeping an eye on what atlas of the glass are being heated.

Use this technique to pull cane, sculpt a horn, or create a marble like these. You can also try adding lines of colored glass on the inside surface of the two paddles we use to create the filigrana cane, and make your design more complex without much effort.

Virtual Glassblowing was created with the idea to share the artists perspective while they work. As beautiful as glass art is, nothing compares to the sight of it being created. The art is the process, and the by-product is the final completed work.I hope you enjoy watching the process as much as I do participating in it.

Feel free to ask questions, I'll do my best to answer everything I can. I'm by no means an expert, I've just been working with glass for a long time and enjoy sharing and learning everything I can. I'll try to keep fresh content coming on a regular basis so if that sounds interesting to you, follow along on the journey with me. Don't forget your safety glasses!
