glass blowing

Glass blowing is a craft where heated glass, softened to a malleable state, is shaped by blowing air into it through a hollow pipe. The artisan meticulously manipulates the molten glass—rolling, twisting, and forming it—while maintaining its temperature to prevent cracking. This process allows for creating a variety of objects like vases, bottles, and sculptures. Skilled artisans control the temperature and shape throughout the process, often using tools and molds, to produce precise and intricate designs. Glass blowing combines artistry and technical skill, turning molten material into functional and decorative objects through controlled heat and craftsmanship.
