How to Blow Glass: Marias

[@Spence4420]

Practice practice practice = consistency. Thank you so much Dustin. It never hurts to hit the basics again and again

[@Spence4420]

How about some hollow marias

[@Lily-gr1ct]

I should be getting my equipment wednesday! Winning a month of mentoring might be the perfect time for me

[@Rob_Meltz]

Thanks for these. There isn't any real beginner videos for people looking to get into glasswork out there.

[@vitorzeiraaa2103]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, at Blowers in Brazil we appreciate it!!

[@CharlesBlank]

I’m about a week away from finally getting my station set up. I neeed to buy that mentorship class.

[@TheSkepticalPelican]

Hey Dustin, I absolutely love your channel; been subscribed since 2016! Your videos pushed me to try lamp work, and of all the art forms I've dabbled with over the years (guitar, didgeridoo, painting, jiujitsu, etc) glass work has felt the most "me". Both of my grandfathers work with glass so it's in my blood. One made stained glass art, and the other is a professional glazier. Life has gotten in the way so I wasn't able to work with glass for long, but one of my greatest goals for the next few years is to start my own little home studio, and you better believe I'll be watching the Master (you)! I love your work, and keep going! Warm regards

[@Nicksname1]

Thanks for the videos and the chance to win the mentorship!

[@createdbylex]

That is a goal of mine to learn how to blow glass!! excited about these videos!!

[@bobgreenthumb8066]

[@MeltyGlassworx]

[@austinrawog5293]

Love the videos I can't wait to get on the torch and re watch them all

[@chiefdelta9_476]

As a brand new glass blower I’ve been workin on these a lot thanks for the tips and great video

[@LiveAnEpicLife]

Dustin your the man! I've learned almost everything I know from you and wouldn't be at the level I am without you. I just made my first mini tube, although it cracked, I was able to save it. Great work!

[@russa9924]

Awesome dude.. watching from the UK, your channel Rocks...

[@dianemcmullen7766]

Thank you so much for your generosity of time and knowledge in putting together these videos. You offer new flameworkers some very important foundational skills. I am very excited to work on these techniques.

[@revereglass]

You are very much welcome, feel free to visit my website www.revereglass.com I offer free online lessons there too for new flame workers.

[@GunGuy258]

Your videos have helped me so much. I started out self taught for a couple years before I found your videos. You have helped me to become better with every video. Correcting bad habits that being self taught created. Winning a mentorship would mean the world to me. You are the best thing that has happened to the glass blowing community. Thank you.

[@Drugease]

I thought you had already made a video on this, i was lookin all last night and finding this today blew my mind🤣 we on the same wave-link lmao

[@TroyFaganPhotography]

Stoked on this new series your doing. How to blow glass. It’s going to be a great help for me starting off my glassblowing journey. It would be cool to see a in depth how to set up your studio video as well, from suggested bench depth/height to ventilation etc. Hope you get to release new videos regularly in this series ! Thanks Dustin for always providing the goods ! Your inspiring people all around the world.

[@globsonly420]

This and the dangers of the craft and importance of good ventilation

[@CompletelyToast]

I love all your videos and it got me inspired. Started a at home studio

[@VickiTomich]

Didn’t even consider just using a rod to make Maria after Maria for practice and that makes perfect sense to work on uniformity and control. Excited to give it a shot 😀

[@fairwitness7473]

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm new and my learning is slow because it's difficult to walk to my shop. But glass is the first thing I think about in the morning and the last before bed. Sometimes I even dream about it. I'm hoping to make this my new income stream since my nerve damage has ended my driving (school Bus) career. See, when I can make it to my shop, glass is the only thing that makes the pain go away. It's crazy, it's like I fall into the glass & flame, and time just goes away. I friggin love it. This medium is like playing with lava. You are like a god when playing with glass, because you can create anything! Thank you so much for these tutorials! I'm not very good yet, but I will be! Much love from the land of ten thousand lakes (MN)!

[@CreatedBy_official]

Thank you for these videos! It’s really helping me learn

[@dylanfisk4365]

Love watching and vibing with you Dustin, always such a stress free environment

[@zacpackman9186]

[@rawjay8680]

Thanks Dustin for always helping out the glass community with tips and tricks, no matter what stage your at. I'm new so I appreciate all the info💜

[@stephenwhitt68]

Always appreciate the videos and can't go wrong with the fundamentals ever

[@coopermarion547]

I need to practice more Marias I've been making solid pendants and I really want to transition to more tubing and really appreciate these tutorials!

[@funstoff1010]

Love the video. I think a cool video would b about how to fix a crack

[@drdabsabunch4935]

I literally just started practicing my Maria's 3 days ago I have about 15 hrs total on the torch and striving to be the better every time. Thank you so much for this. I will take everything I have learned from this video and apply it.

[@kaleb7105]

Hey 7 months later man how are you doing? Im tempted to drop 3k and start but at the same time Im hoping i'll be able to somewhat turn a profit. So how are you?

[@truints]

@@kaleb7105 Hey 3 months later man how are you doing? LOL Seriously though, did you do it?!?! Tell us about it man!

[@BassHead306]

Thanks for pumping out all these awesome videos! As a new glass blower from over the last year, your videos have been so much help in learning the basics and more during the lockdown. I really appreciate this as a outlet to learn and grow in the glass community.

[@jacksonchildre1477]

You killed this video! Would love to win a mentorship thanks for the opportunity!

[@codyleaver2903]

This man's got it down 🤯

[@robertolandaluce7468]

thanks for this essential knowledge in something so fundamental. i will try it out:)

[@uglyshader1611]

I like this vid format dude :) . . . . just focusing on one thing and repeating it allows us to see any variation in the way the glass my move differently and how you handle it. Thanks again for everything you do for us artists (especially us new ones). (please exclude this comment from the freebie thing . . . cant even guarantee I will have o2 two weeks from now and would hate to waste the opportunity of taking some of your classes lol)

[@JebadiahBlaze]

Thank you for taking the time to teach and share your knowledge. That sculptural goblet you made was incredible and it was great to see how to use these fundamentals to build with. Great job as always✌

[@championofthesun2346]

Thank you for the tutorials!!

[@brandimullins]

Thanks for lessons it helps a lot!!

[@therealBigMoth]

Thanks Dustin handles and flare in depth would be great

[@wiccanbear30]

Thanks for this! I'm still learning so this is great!

[@i_have_a_coat]

Such good information, love these simpler tutorials. Would love to know how to get my marias flatter, i see somepeople make these really sleek sharp lines

[@yoshift3958]

looking forward to seeing & learning more w the how-to’s!!! i really wanna start & unfortunately there’s no workshops around my area so i’m looking to self teach & i’m most definitely sure these videos will help - thanks a million!

[@Borowitsglass]

Should do one just about seals straight seal specifically would be awesome but I’d like to see a little of everything.

[@danstark3341]

Recently, my wife and I took a class locally for our anniversary. We both made two ladybugs. I've kept going to that shop to learn more. Is there a place that I can go for terminology? I heard another video talking about a maria, but there are only a few videos discussing what it actually is. I'm used to college classes where you get all that kind of thing up front, before actually doing anything. But I know it's hard to do that much for a date night class. I'll go see what else you have posted.

[@taoglassworks]

🎶🎵 Maria Maria, she reminds me of a west side storyyyy🎶🎵 gotta sing to your glass🤩

[@xdusty121x2]

Great video

[@ghettosteeve]

I think you should get a mount

[@kylegeo]

Ty so much for these videos

[@arvidmikkila2406]

I would love to be apart of the community!!! Setting up my shed right now and waiting on my gtt from mountain glass but i would love to win the free month! Cheers 🥂

[@dertythegrower]

Happy Holidaze, be safe

[@oneshotme]

I take it keeping it in the middle is the hardest part?? That would be cool to win for me cause I haven't found anything I can do since messing up my back 30 years ago Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@chadt1198]

Maybe some tips on stringers would be nice.

[@michaelhowell8299]

struggling to not pull when trying to keep the glass centered, any tips?

[@alexrivas1739]

Thankks so much

[@muadab710]

How do you make a hollow maria?

[@ZachoMax]

Good fundamentals are what actually makes good glass

[@theericandreshowuncensored8744]

What’s it called when u push in the maria for one-y

[@BoneTV]

So how does this technique help with writing a letter to my wife? How will she ever know that I leaving and starting a new life?

[@bukursglass6990]

Hell ya man great video!!! I hope I win I’d love to be mentored by you for a month 🤝🙂

[@mikespex8505]

I’m trying to find the research on why people call the shape a Maria. Is it a term that everybody decided to agree or is there historical significance behind the name and shape?

[@revereglass]

It definitely has a reason why it's called what it is.

[@oneshotme]

Good luck to all that enters to win!!!!

Making glass teddy bears is good exercise like this.

[@franciscogonzales2907]

thanks fam !

[@henrikbengtsson6625]

gr8!

[@willythatglassguy]

Just started my KZbin

[@ludokerfluffle6232]

We are never to advanced to reinforce the FUNdamentals.

[@chinnzerglass]

Awesome work! The images you show in the beginning aren't really marias. Gathers would be more accurate. Marias have a straight side.

[@HardinRacingHPS]

Bad ass!!!

[@smokeymcdabsnstuff]

You should just start all over with the basics with how many new melters there are. Like spoons . Frit spoons. Ring seals . Jesus seals . Nd stuff

[@ludokerfluffle6232]

1st

[@willythatglassguy]

Great video
