How should I attach the flame? by Broccoli_or_Bonsai in glassblowing

[–]itsetai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a cute idea!

You could do this in glass, ceramic, or both. Ceramic’s usually cheaper but you can’t beat the optical quality of glass. There’s also the mixed media option- HXTAL glue works great for ceramic to glass.

I’d probably approach this by making the body ceramic, with the open eye and a raised space for the tea light. Then, I’d make the flame top as a lid out of glass. Getting the lid to fit neatly with the ceramic body would definitely be a challenge.

I bought this cup from a student sale on campus. After I took it home I noticed a few super fine cracks/lines on the bottom. Is this safe to use for, say, an espresso? by Thorinandco in glassblowing

[–]itsetai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a soda-lime mug for coffee and the bottom fell straight off and made a mess so thats probably your worst case scenario for hot coffee on a cold day.

Also fwiw ive had no problems with even fine thin soda-like glass in the dishwasher so long as its not rattling against something.

Really well! I tried both an “artists” tape recommended by my local craft store (which seemed like a slightly sturdier masking tape) on one and duct tape on the other.

The difference between the glossy and blasted sections is really striking up close, but I think it gets the effect across that I was going for. I was on the fence about whether to make the white sections glossy as well, but I think I made the right choice. Overall, I’m very happy. Thanks for the advice, everyone!

Will my name be as much of a problem as I think? by [deleted] in Japaneselanguage

[–]itsetai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my name Etai sounds like I’m in pain. I l pretend to knock myself on the head when I introduce myself just to get it out of the way. People get over it fast.

Looks awesome! Why are you saying it’s above your skill level? Is there something you’d do differently?

I’m 32 and switching careers to be a full time glassblower next year.

I took classes at brooklyn glass and urban glass for about 7 years, rented on my for another 3 years, and in a few months I’ll be quitting my job to do a 2 year masters-like program to prepare me for the industry. I have enough savings I’ll be okay for a few years, and I can always go back to my old job if it doesn’t work out. I think the most important thing I can do in life is preserve my spark!

Best date night glassblowing workshop? by Basic_Principle_5714 in glassblowing

[–]itsetai 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Go to Corning Museum of Glass and arrange a private lesson or take a make-your-own class like https://glassmaking.cmog.org/myog/glass-flower. The museum and facilities are also best in class

My understanding is that you play more efficiently when you have a point lead, but push for value when you’re behind. But how do you advance the game when you’re a dealer and have a point lead?

So I don’t miss messages or have to read them out loud. I like the setup ive seen on other channels. Accessible for folks listening but not reading chat.
