3 Ways to make an Pilsner glass - How to blow glass

Could you go over non-soph lip thinning, I’ve been struggling with the thicknesses of my rims since covid hit and I haven’t been able to use a soph in my studio.

Issues of thickness are generally addressed in the UHG instructional course available at www.GlassblowersGuide.com. In fact, I even do tailored instruction for people who have purchased that series and want to know more about applying fundamental principles to specific topics, such as this one. So I'd encourage you to check that out. But in general if you have thick lips that necessitate a lot of work on the punty, then you may want to look closely at what you're doing on the blowpipe... Tweezing, trimming, and puffing are good tools to take down thickness, but even better (esp. if you are not allowed to use a puffer) might be to make sure that you're blowing something thinish to begin with so that it doesn't require a lot of work after the transfer. That's just one thought, but how does that resonate with you?

Can you post more videos??? Please

[@glassblowersguide]

I’d love to oblige! Actually have a couple that have been on the back burner for a long time... maybe time to finish them up and get them posted. In the meantime, I’m assuming you know there’s a whole 6 hour series available at www.GlassblowersGuide.com. Check it out if not!

A torch of any kind should never be used to make anything like this that’s small. All the fire you ever need is already there. In the furnace/glory hole.
