Welcome to The Fire Gallery, where every Wednesday and Friday, we host Glass Blowing sessions that bring art and science together in a fiery dance. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, our sessions offer an exciting opportunity to learn and create glass pieces. Today, we’ll take you through the glass blowing process, […]
Borosilicate glass flameworking is a glass working technique that involves manipulating borosilicate glass rods and tubes using a torch flame to create various objects and artworks. Unlike soft glass, which has a lower melting point and is commonly used in glassblowing, borosilicate glass can withstand higher temperatures. In borosilicate glass flameworking, the glassworker heats the glass rods or tubes in the flame of a torch until they become molten and malleable. By controlling the intensity and direction of the flame, the artist can manipulate the glass to create intricate designs, sculptures, jewelry, pipes, marbles, and more.
