RE: The Results of Our Glassblowing Day

The pieces are really good. I would never have suspected that they were your first ever pieces. What a cool experience. Would you take it up as a hobby?

    Id love to, but im going to need a bit more in the way of steem to be able to afford it

    1. A glass furnace costs £60,000 UK (diy can bring that down to £20k).
    2. You need a couple of smaller furnaces (unfortunately called the "Glory Hole") to keep the glass hot between working sessions
    3. Jonathan's propane gas costs to run those furnaces was £2500 per month :o

    Maybe it's not the hobby for me :)

      Oh, my goodness! I had no idea that it was that expensive to start up! No wonder there aren't very many glass artisians!
