Any glass blowers out there?

[CaliCoast]

I know that GC isn't the place necessarily for people who blow glass but I was wondering if anybody on GC blows glass. I'm looking at spending around $4,000 for a torch, kiln, various tools, glass, oxy and propane, and ventilation materials. But actually before that I was thinking about just renting studio time at a local studio before I invest a ton of money in a new hobby. I have an artistic side to me and glass working truly is art. At the same studio they offer how to blow glass pipes and virtually every aspect of glass blowing. They have various workshops with featured artists like Bearclaw in Aug. So anybody blow glass, got any pieces you want to show off? I think GC should have a glass blowing forum.

I've always wanted to learn how, but haven't really had the opportunity. I've also heard that glass blowing is horrible for your lungs.. even worse than weed or cigarettes. Is that true?

Let's get some glass going on GC and start up a glass blowing section. The cost is fairly inexpensive for just the class, only $420 .

I think that is where proper ventilation comes in to play. I'm sure it's not 100% non toxic but it just comes with the trade.

As long as you are properly ventilating your studio, I don't think it's hazardous to your lungs...

If you need some help finding a shop to start working in or need help locating some equipment to buy shoot me a pm, I might be able to help you out.

Hmm I need a new pipe let me go blow one!

Is that the same GG that makes those sick hash oil pieces along with HMK? That's sick though, at least one glass blower around these parts.
