Glass Art DIY
Traditional Glass-Making
The method of glass production involves using an iron hollow blowpipe to gather molten glass paste, which is similar to maltose, from a crucible at 1400°C. Air is then blown from the other end to expand the glass body, creating a hollow shape of the required size, and shaping the glass accordingly.
