Grouping of ornaments created by artist Tia Collin.
Pros : It can be a bit expensive to play with these, but it is a great way for me to get into glass blowing. I bought the hot head torch and that made a big difference. It will take some practice but I plan to continue to get these handy items and hope to make some great ornaments.
Cons : For someone who is not familiar with glass blowing the cost can be high considering that practice will mean wasting these tubes.
Other Thoughts : My hope is to be able to crush the unused blow tube and the ones that I messed up and use it for beadmaking or fusing.
Pros : The pre-worked tubes have eliminated half the work of blowing glass. It's a wonderful beginning to an amazing art form. Give these a try, and you too will be hooked on glass work. Enjoy!
Cons : Be patient, it's not the material that leads to problems. It's you trying to rush. Insure proper annealing.
Pros : This was so fun. I haven/t worked with a torch much, but I had a ball with this. Out of 14, I got 2 really good ones, 6 really fun ones, and 6 total rejects. But it was fun. This just means that I'm going to have to take a torch class in las vegas.
Cons : Needs to come with some directions. I found some on the internet, but it would have been easier if it came with them.
Other Thoughts : Everyone who's ever thought about blowing glass should try this. You'll realize why they charge so much for the classes. It was FUN!!
