I was taught to always keep the glory hole at 2200 degrees, but a workshop in Flagstaff showed me that's wrong.

Shoutout to the Corning Museum for their online archive, I had no idea they had over 50,000 glass objects cataloged.

Back in the day, we were taught to always pre-heat the glory hole for a solid 15 minutes before starting a piece.

Serious question, I was at a demo in Asheville and saw someone use a wet newspaper pad to shape a bowl.

Had to choose between a $3000 glory hole upgrade or a new annealer for my shop in Tacoma. Went with the glory hole and now I'm second guessing it.

Three years ago in my garage studio, I tried to make a tiny glass cactus for a friend and ended up with a green blob that looked exactly like a pickle.
