[QUOTE="hark, post: 582849, member: 13196"] Just a quick update on this. Tonight was the first glass blowing class which was interesting and fun. There will be a total of 10 ornaments made during the two classes (the final class will be next week). Tonight we made three ornaments, but the instructor did a lot of taking and demonstrating which took time. The process [MENTION=13090]Horoscope Fish[/MENTION] mentioned is pretty much how it was done. The instructor mounted propane tanks to the tables and gave us the tubes which we filled with whatever colors we chose. Once the tubes were heated and blown (we only did round ornaments), they were inserted into some type of material that allowed them to cool slowly. My first ornament was a dud. I don't think I heated it evenly so one side was softer than the other. When I blew it, the one side expanded much more than the other which left it extremely thin. It wound up breaking during the cooling process, but I could tell that side was much thinner than a piece of paper. The other two I made turned out pretty well. I asked if I can take my camera next week, and she was quite fine with that. Tomorrow I will try to take a photo of the two ornaments during the daytime. Thanks again for the info, Paul. ;) [/QUOTE]
