Hey folks-I'm incredibly interested in learning how to blow glass but am having a difficult time finding a resource. If anyone who knows how to get started could give me some advice it would be *very much* appreciated. Thanks SO much
Light and Love

There is a great glassblowing book called Making Glass Beads by Cindy Jenkins. It has beautiful pictures and is a good intro. I got mine from onespirit.com (a really good bookclub) but you could try ebay or amazon. I also took a class at a local art league. good luck!!  |

The Cindy Jenkins book rocks. great starter book.. Check out Wale Apperatus for supplies online and glass. I would for a beginner at a moderate price opt for the GTT lynx.. great torch..just type it in your search engine.. great for soft glass starting on beads etc.. and hot enough for hard glass like pyrex so you can grow with it ..good luck.. anymore questions..just ask!
peace my friend xxo------------------
