"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...!

But
there's one more way for you to start learning how to blow glass...
Without
spending an arm and a leg before you even get started...

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...
The guide also presents
several
artistic glass projects you can start making right away!
You'll be guided,
step-by-step, as you learn the basic skills of
lampworking (also known as Scientific
glassblowing)
- using a propane torch and glass rods & tubes.
You don't need to
build or
buy expensive equipment.
You don't have to
pay for
pricey materials.
You
can jump right in... (today, if you want)
and
start learning how to create your own artistic blown glass!
Long out
of print and almost impossible to find, we've taken
the original glassblowing text and updated it with New Information and
an expanded list of
Resources.
And we've published this
latest edition as a convenient, downloadable PDF
format eBook that you can read right on your own computer with Adobe®
Reader.
You get 44
pages packed with
ready-to-use glassblowing information. The text is loaded with 65
illustrations so you can see just how to perform each step.

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!
By offering our updated Glass
Blowing Guide in a digital downloadable
format,
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,
