If you're interested in learning glassblowing, come take a class at The Studio! There are classes for all levels: www.cmog.org/glassmaking/studio/classes

[@candykendrick3530]

Awesome!!! Thanks 🤗I'm definitely going to look into it thank you so much

[@nanaleigh328]

Thank you, I really enjoyed this watching this beautiful bowl come to life...Could you tell me how glass artist get a bunch of different size bubbles at the base of paperweights. I have found how the uniform style bubbles are done, but could not find anything with a bunch of them...I know most of the time the artist want their piece to be void of bubbles; but I figured you would know how this is done....thanks

Have you tried looking in the Rakow Research Library's online resource libanswers.cmog.org/search/?t=0&q=paperweight If the answer to your question isn't there, submit it - they can answer anything glass related! Thanks for watching!

My family visited CMOG when I was a kid, and I'm glad to find you on YT. I have so many questions! Why don't they use more protective clothing or equipment to shield them from the heat? How common are serious burns? How are they not all covered with scars? How hot is it there on the stage, or in a typical glass studio? Thanks!

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Hi Mimi, great questions! Glassblowers wear safety glasses to protect against flying glass and harmful UV and IR radiation. It is also common for glassmakers to wear natural fibers and not synthetics, which melt when hot. Glassmakers do not often wear gloves because it would affect their ability to retain dexterity and grip. For professional glassmakers, it is uncommon to be burned in the studio. Burns that do happen, most often occur by touching hot metal and not glass. There are many hot surfaces and tools of which glassmakers must constantly be aware. We have a list of FAQs that may help answer your other questions: www.cmog.org/frequently-asked-questions#faq-108050. Thanks for watching!

[@theresatheisen4383]

how do you get the glass off the poles that is left on after the transfer.

[@benjaminlintell2917]

Theresa Shamp you dip the pip in water to cause it to crack and then is is left to cool until the glass falls off the pipe

[@theresatheisen4383]

Thank you for telling me. I think it would be cool to see it done in real life.
