Origin Story - How I Got into Glass Blowing

[@marmadulescarlet]

I'm legitimately crying - this is such a sweet video, you seem like such a sweet person and have done such an amazing job at pushing through hardships and setbacks...you're incredible! Well done and all the very best to you and your family. Thank you for wanting to give back to the artistic community, I'm so excited to see where you go from here.

[@trejayne]

Awww I’m glad you enjoyed hearing about it! I haven’t been particularly outspoken about the early days and stuff going on behind the scenes so it’s really nice to know you liked it. I’m going to do a how to get started video soon! ❤️

The person in the shop that asked if you were OK then sold your items ❤ How wonderful 😊 xx

[@trejayne]

One of the sweetest humans I have ever met ❤️

[@RaeCarson]

​@@trejayne How awesome is it that you didn't even need a gallery - you just needed an empathetic soul with a seller's platform who believed in you!! 😊❤

[@Frey_00]

I just discovered your channel on tiktok and it brought me here. I love your enthusiasm and dedication for your passion. Switching from tiktok to youtube is another reset for your social media base, but trust that everything would go well. Looking forward to more of your artwork! I wish I could buy one but I am from a different country. I wish you success and Bless you and your family! Please don’t ever change. xoxo❤️

[@trejayne]

Welcome! Thank you so much, I’m learning a lot from this new filming style and im glad I’m able to share more now 😀

[@Frey_00]

@@trejayneCan’t wait to see the next one you’ll gonna make. Glasswork is truly interesting!

[@samanthabull6914]

I came across your content and started watching when you were trying to make the blue bottle into a coaster. 😊

[@trejayne]

I’m coming back to that very soon! ♻️

[@jessoli9062]

Couple of things , You are actually my favorite content creator so it’s exciting having longer and new content. Secondly your origin story really resonates with me on so many levels and gives me so much hope for myself . Though my journey is through pottery and I’m In Australia . I Have had to put my pottery to the side for now as I’m pregnant with my second and I also have horrible hyperemesis gravidarium at the moment. Your content makes me so happy and I wish you all the luck. A friend from down-under 😊

[@trejayne]

Awww bless you!! Congratulations on your new baby! How exciting! ❤️❤️❤️ It was very hard putting my work down as it changed my identity a lot and I thought I was failing but when I look back things needed to happen at the right time 🕰️ I now have my glass stuff and a great relationship with my son - both needed dedication in equal parts and that balance makes me super happy today. Don’t worry you will definitely come back to it in no time! You are a fantastic mum and soon to be a great potter too, you can have both I promise ❤️

[@StudioCalcifer]

its crazy to think that now you have such a great following that you can create a new youtube channel and get over 3k subscribers in just a short time! so excited to see more of your work in the future!

[@trejayne]

I am very lucky! And grateful that so many people care about my journey ❤️

[@ralphmourik]

This has to be one of the best origin stories of a small creator I have heard so far. I found you trough a YT short and this is the first video I clicked on. I am a hobbyist metal caster so I can definitively relate to some parts of your journey. Although I have a full time job and the metal casting is just a little side thing with no income, thanks to your story I now feel compelled to put more effort into my work. Subbed for more of your content 👍🏻

[@kirstiejb46]

The pig of friendship is when I started watching. It's so nice to see your journey. I always look forward to your posts 🥰

Thank you so much! ☺️

Thanks 👍

[@briannalavelle9907]

I absolutely love your content and am so happy to have heard your journey through glassblowing. Over the past 6 months you've reignited my passion to try and set up my own bench to work at home. You've shown me that through hard work and dedication it actually is possible. So thank you from the bottom of my heart💛

[@trejayne]

I love this! Please keep me updated with how you get on and if I can help in any way ❤

[@PyraLithiam]

Oh, my gosh! I love this journey of yours! I'm so happy that you exist and that you've pursued what you've wanted and got to where you are now! I have been binging your content on tiktok, but I had to take a break back in September, so I haven't caught up since then, but I bet you're making so many more wonderful things! Happy to see you here now! Okay, maybe I've been putting in too many exclamation points lolol. I'm trying to either stay in graphic design, go a completely different path and do music or start a business, so my struggle right now is figuring out which one I have the most passion for. I just know I enjoy being creative.

[@trejayne]

Maybe try to do all of them! For my work I primarily do glass but I have also learnt photo, graphic design, pottery, 3D printing etc - you don’t have to just pick one and you may find that one day all those skills are super helpful 😀

[@williamburns-uw2gf]

Truly an honest heartwarming story of your journey so far and wish you all the happiness in the world. My sister mentioned that you are a glass blower and showed me some videos of you on TikTok. WOW, absolutely jaw dropping stunning work and my favourite is the glass quills you made. Had a look on YT as I don't use or trust Facebook, Instagram or TikTok and thankfully found you and look forward to hopefully seeing your work on here. I'm sure you have already watched it but 'Blown Away' is on Netflix and worth the watch. I am currently, yet slowly setting up a back garden hobby forge, very passionate about making something out of alloys etc and thank you for keeping the glass blowing going. Love peace and tranquility from N.W 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢 Wrexham

[@trejayne]

Hello! Thank you so much, it’s been slow but I am truly happy where I am so far and can’t wait to see what the future holds. I just finished season 4! I wanted both Ryan and Morgan to win 😀 maybe one day I can be as skilled as them. Good luck with your forge! It all starts in a garden 🪴

[@williamburns-uw2gf]

@@trejayne Bless, thank you. It's my sister's 40th birthday in September and a qualified O.D.P next year. I was hoping if you could do a personalised ink pen with her favourite green colour glasses. How would I be able to sort out purchase arrangements?

[@jscan]

You're an absolutely mesmerizing individual! The video style is a bit unsettling with the scores of little clips.. I can imagine it eases the production, but I don't think I could watch too many videos in this style. At any rate; all the best to you!

[@jaylajarrard916]

Love your content!💕 You have such a beautiful personality! And I love your hair! Its gorgeous!!

[@davidstevens4084]

Such an amazing story, I love your Instagram vids and this background story makes them so much more special. Your energy and enthusiasm is so infectious. Your content gives off a great feel good vibe, I think because its real and not forced, please keep doing what you have been doing 😁

[@trejayne]

Oh this is such a lovely comment! Thank you so much it’s really made my day 😀

[@atomicredhead]

I just found you and you are adorable. I am a resin artist and have wanted to do lampworking for so long. I can't afford everything right now, but following you gives me hope.

[@GingerNinja1]

I'm so glad I found you early in your journey. I've always strived to seek out local artwork & your content is right up my alley. Unfortunately, your products I wanted to order are all sold out so I signed up to be notified! I hope in the future you'll consider making statues out of glass & maybe metal. I have the most beautiful, yet simplified glass & metal angel whose wings resemble stained glass panels except they're clear glass. Would love to add to my collection of unique artwork like that. Best of luck to you! Can't wait to see what your future has in store!

[@lonnarheaj]

I know your journey has not always been an easy one, but the way you share what brought you to this point, it is apparent it has been a blessed path to where you are now and the delightful talented lady you are. Thank you for sharing and inspiring❣️

Not now but as long as you keep at it and keep at it you'll get there. You could probably find some cheap classes in your area

[@paigebusby570]

Thank you so much for creating this video, I follow you on tiktok but it's amazing to hear your story ❤ Hearing your experiences (which are weirdly similar to mine 😅) and that perseverance pays off is seriously reassuring and I can't wait to see more of your videos 🥰 I moved from Bristol to Inverness and have been making stained glass panels in my bedroom for the past few years whilst being the breadwinner working from home. It's been very lonely moving up to Scotland so I feel your pain 😅. Now me and my husband have done the switcheroo and I'm following my passion and focusing on learning more glass skills and selling. I have my first Art fair in June at our local Creative Academy and honestly it feels like a dream come true 🥰 Glass is such an amazing medium but unfortunately a less popular artform, so seeing another young woman not just making it, but thriving, makes me so happy! ❤️

[@delboy198]

Thats an amazing story! so glad you found you glass feet and you ran with it!

You've such a lovely aura and vibe, thank you for sharing!!

[@medharao8550]

hi! so i found your account on instagram one random day a while ago and i fell in love with your art and your process. I recently found out that you had a youtube channel so i came over to look at it. I just wanted to say that i think you're a really interesting person. i really love how you are not at all embarrassed to showcase your work even when you fail because it makes me realise how long it takes sometimes, as a creative person, to get to where you want to go. it really helps me with my own frustration of not having a finished product or knowing how to make money off of it. so thank you!! also... if you have the time and want to do it, i would love to have a glimpse at your skill tree and how you keep yourself motivated. I only got a glimpse of it sometimes in your reels but it seemed like something that would work for me so i was interested :)

[@Kirsch_BH]

woooo!! long format video!

[@trejayne]

Yay! It feels weird 🤣 but will get the hang of it soon hopefully 😅 how’s your content journey going???

[@Kirsch_BH]

It's wierd, right now is a little bit stagnant, I think is just part of the growing cycle. 280k on tiktok 50k on IG. I'm a brewmaster on Mexico City, that's my bussines and the content is about that (craft beer) but also other types of fermentations and destilaton processes. How about you? your youtube channel is growing at good pace! :D BTW loved the Pine Needle soda video.

[@laurapyrah2490]

Love this!
