Golden Rules for 104 Lampworking?

[Nicknack]

If a hot bit of glass flies off and hits you, brush it off quickly, don't press down on it, or it will both burn and cut you (glass is sharp, even when hot!).  Have fun!

1 - AS you are going to the glass center for some time on the torch - Trust the instructors - they will be more than happy to give advice
2 - come to flameoff if you can - we always are willing to help explain stuff.

When you heat a rod from cold, put it in the flame pointing away from you. Not sideways.

If the rod is going to thermal shock it will pop sideways not straight at you.

Patience, practice and more practice xxxx
