Modern glass art started in a garage in Toledo, Ohio in 1962. One homemade furnace, two workshops, and suddenly artists didn't need a factory.

I will be building a few of these probably this winter. One for my beads. One for metal. One for glassworking. I'll have a lot of space for yarn and other fibers.
Woodworking will be a new skill

First glass class I assistant taught was a CE class in which 5 of the students were lefties. They challenged the instructor to make a piece left-handed and the whole glassworking bench had to be rearranged. Turns out all actual hot glass tools are ambidextrous except for the shears, of course.

Container for Kohl in the Shape of a Palm Column https://www.artic.edu/artworks/43353/
Glassworking in Egypt appeared suddenly as a fully developed industry under the pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty (1550–1295 BCE) and was probably imported from the older glass centers of the Eastern Mediterranean. During this time glass production was restricted to a handful of workshops producing vessels and objects intended only for the pharaoh and his court. In addition to small glass objects such as beads, amulets, and inlays, the new industry produced a wide variety of glass vessels for unguents, incense, and cosmetics. Particularly popular were vessels like this example made to contain kohl, a black pigment used by both men and women to outline their eyes. The kohl was applied with a thin rod, and the containers were sealed with stoppers made of linen and wax. The shape of this object recalls a palm column, a traditional element of Egyptian architecture. The bright, opaque colors of these early core-formed glass vessels—dark blue, turquoise blue, red, yellow, and white—seem to emulate semiprecious stones such as lapis lazuli, turquoise, and jasper. The rarity of these glass works (only some five hundred complete examples are known) indicates that they were precious commodities. Gift of Theodore W. and Frances S. Robinson

I haven't done any glassworking myself yet, just read a lot, but I've read soda-lime glass tends to have a nice balance of being cheap, but also easy to work with: the "solid enough to stay on a pipe but liquid enough to work" temperature zone isn't as wide as lead glass but its pretty good.

Hey Nora, got a quick question for you about glassworking...

Are kilns really heating that hot off of electric heating elements? Or do they use extra fuel?

I know it's a silly question but I'm having trouble understanding what i googled for the question.

Thanks in advance! 💜

A digital illustration featuring a cellshaded half body over a plain grey background, with a blue square. The character light grey skin and four large white braids, with yellow eyes with black scleras and no pupils. They are smiling as they hold one crystalline flower floating in the air. They are wearing a deep crimson gambeson, a black scarf, and a dark breastplate with a wolf engraving.

Coming up in early June we have a beginning flamework class.

In this 3-hour class you’ll use a small torch to shape colorful glass rods into beautiful beads and marbles!

Get your ticket here! www.eventbrite.com/e/beginner-f...
The image shows a molten-red bead of glass being held in the flame of a handheld torch. In the background are the blurred images of glass rods and glassworking tools.

"The Lycurgus Cup is one of the most unusual examples of glassworking ever produced by the Roman Empire, as it is made from dichroic glass—a material that appears to exhibit an entirely different coloration when light passes through it..." www.realclearscience.com/2026/05/08/t...

Maerwynn dump part 2!
Mostly canon stuff and outfits this time

#illustration #dndcharacters #sketchbook
Digital drawing of my character Maerwynn. She is a robust dwarven woman with a short beard, long curly dark-blonde hair with some braids, freckles and piercings. She is dressed in green and purple armour. Her weapons and shield are brightly patterned like stained glass. There are individual drawings of her weapons and patterns on the side. The drawings are collaged over a photo of a stone wall covered in ivy. Two pencil drawings of Maerwynn. One drawing shows her from the bust up, sleeping with one hand behind her head and the other on her belly. The other drawing shows her in a modern outfit: she wears brown jeans and boots, a lime green crewneck layered with a darker green sleeveless top, a purple belt and a carabiner with keychains. The drawings are collaged over a photo of a stone wall covered in ivy. Two pencil drawings of Maerwynn. One drawing shows her in profile from the waist up in casual clothing: a green tunic, purple sash and red headband. The leather pouch on her belt holds a red iris and a thistle. The other drawing shows her in smithing / glassworking attire with a leather apron and a tool in hand. The drawings are collaged over a photo of a stone wall covered in ivy. A sketchbook spread with pencil and marker drawings of Maerwynn in combat against undead creatures. She wears purple and green armour and wields a stained glass mace. One pose shows her casting the ‘sacred flame’ spell, which creates bright pink flames swirling around her arm. There is a closeup view of her hand casting the same spell while touching the ribcage of a skeleton.

Well, we definitely have ancient volcanic activity here - it's the Dunnottar Castle Conglomerate Formation webapps.bgs.ac.uk/lexicon/lexi... I'd be astounded if it were slag glass given there's no historical glassworking there.
