Blowing glass for fun!

Shaping and cooling a bubble of molten glass in the hot shop

Sometimes when we blow glass it’s just for fun. So we decided to make a a few cups one day!

I used to really obsess over making perfect cups so I took a lot of pride in making really thin cups quickly. And since then, I’ve made a lot of plates very consistently and I haven’t made a lot of cups. So you tend to get a little rusty. They aren’t perfect but it was important to start somewhere to dust the cobwebs off. I was trying to do something that didn’t exactly work out but I still enjoyed the process and I’m sharing it with you because why not? Click here to watch a video of the cup-making process.

We offer a wide variety of glass jewelry created from our hand blown glass plates. Check out some of our favorites below!
