🎨 Dtube Taiwan Adventures: Glass Blowing Class! 🎨
(click image above to see Dtube video)
I absolutely love any activity that involves using your hands and creativity. In Taiwan, I got the opportunity to take a glass blowing class, and it was so much fun! It's been over 5 years, since I took a glass blowing class, so it felt super special to be able to do this activity again. I really enjoyed this class, as all of the instructions were given to me in Chinese! YAY! Language class and glass blowing class all in one. I totally scored! :P
First, you must choose which color glass you would like to incorporate into your piece.
You use a very hot oven to heat up the glass so that it can be manipulated.
To create a bowl or expand the glass, you blow into the end of the stick, and the glass bulb will get bigger.
Here I am with the final product, a blowfish cup! To see the different steps of glass blowing, please check out my Dtube video. Enjoy!
love,

Struggling girl
That glassblowing looks so fun
absolutely love the last photo!! beautiful backdrop! as far as glassblowing goes, i have yet to try it out, but I've been doing stained glass designs since i was a kid with my grandma (she did these huge, ornate pieces all over my grandparents house for over a decade!). its a time consuming process, and expensive (glass is expensive!), but oh so rewarding. and i love that working on it makes me feel like she's still with me. nostalgia is a beautiful thing.
very nice
You are extremely talented and inspiring.😍 Its awesome Art 😊 Good Fun Sweet friend 😉
aww thank you! :)
nice
This is awesome, you are really great
Your final product turned out great! I've always wanted to learn glass-blowing. How long do you have after taking it out of the heat to make each adjustment? Not sure I could handle that kind of time-pressure...
