I knew that glass blowing course was a good idea!
ok so I've managed to blow a small bubble about the size of a largish marble, ;D felt really chuffed, then wasn't sure what to do with it! doh!
So, once it's on inflated on the mandrel what should i do then? put in kiln and anneal? dump in water to cause it to shatter (did this and got frit!!! ::) so not sure that's right)or put in vermiculite to cool then smash?
please help cus I want to go and do some more now!
thanks peeps
Kath
Keep on blowing until its the size of a large grapefruit, let cool then break up inside a large bowl or tin to stop shards going everywhere
thanks Pat , I'll do that and see what it turns out like! off to find a large bowl......
