Anyone on here blow glass or do some flame working? I feel like im the only 13 year old in the world who likes to do this or has done it! Any way I have a torch in my garage where i make beads that I turn into bracelets, pendants/necklaces, and earrings...i can also make marbles on there and some small sculpture things like leaves, plants, animals, and other things like that. Im still taking classes on how to make that stuff though. But then when I go to the Third Degree Glass Factory, I can make vases, pumpkins, paper weights, flowers, bowls, and literally tons of other things! I would suggest trying to find a glass blowing shop near you and just taking a class....It is so much fun. Be careful, you WILL get burned and it hurts. So I just want to know if anyone else has heard of this or does it, or has a friend who does it

Glass blowing is pretty cool. I've seen some pieces on TV before, you have any pictures of what you've made?

Sadly no, I usually volunteer at the shop then they sell my work and I get about 25% of the earnings! Its really fun, plus they just gave me 25%, I didnt even ask!
