Learn how to create beautiful glass ornaments with Glaskolben pre-blown clear glass cylinders with blow pipe ends. Delphi Artist Val Oswalt-De Waard demonstrates how Glaskolben may be blown freehand into a ball using a Hot Head torch and MAPP gas, eliminating the time-consuming method of "pulling points" from glass tubes.
We are lighting up the torch on this Facebook live. Val and Roy are talking about borosilicate glass! See how Val uses frit and boro glass to create a pendant necklace.
