You can blow glass! find out how to get started today!

"Who else wants to learn  
how to blow glass,
  and create original works

of glass art...?"

Without spending a fortune
on tools and equipment


If you want to learn how to blow glass,
there are a couple ways you can do it...

You can set up your own hot glass shop...
  • You'll spend thousands of dollars building your own glass furnace, glory hole, and annealers...
  • Spend hundreds more on blowpipes & punties...
  • Spend still more buying hand-torches, blocks & paddles, jacks & shears...
    and all of the other tools every offhand glassblower needs.
  • Then, on top of all that, you'll still need to buy glass cullet or glass batch...
    (or a bunch of messy sand and chemicals so you can mix your own).

     Or...


You can go a slightly cheaper route by setting up a lampworking studio...
  • You'll still need a multi-hundred dollar torch...
  • And a source of natural gas or propane...
  • You'll have to buy or rent oxygen tanks...
  • Buy or build annealing ovens, and more hand tools.
  • And then you'll have to buy borosilicate glass rods and tubing...
    or expensive, imported soft-glass colored rods.


Either way, it can cost you a small fortune...!

The Starving Artist's Guide to Glass Blowing

The Starving Artist's
guide to
Glass Blowing

Creating Artistic Glass
with scrap glass
and a torch



Originally written in the early 1960s, this long lost manual was created by a scientific glassblower who translated his many years of "lampworking" experience into an easy-to-follow guide for the 'average' person with 'below-average' funds.

In this informative book, the author explains how to use scrap glass commonly found in every home -- bottles & jars, marbles, light bulbs & flourescent tubes -- to create artistic blown glass items - vases, ornaments, and glass sculptures.

The illustrated text includes a brief history of glass, descriptions of the tools and equipment you'll need, basic glass working techniques, and how to prepare your materials for use...

By now you're probably asking...

"Just how much will it cost to get my own copy of this informative how-to guide?"


Published nearly 50 years ago, the original limited-circulation text is

long out-of-print and rarely offered for sale.

When copies do turn up (even much-read, dog-eared examples) they are eagerly purchased by anxious glass artists and collectors.

And even if you could locate an acceptable copy offered for sale by a rare book dealer,

you'd likely pay as much as $50 or more to make it your own.


But the good news is...

 You don't have to pay anywhere near that Rare Book dealer's price!

we don't have to charge for the added costs of printing, warehousing or shipping.

We're able to pass those savings on to you and, for a limited time,
