Hello all,

Some people have asked me for some pictures of my glassblowing work. So here they are. I blow glass at the University of Texas at Arlington. I do sell some of my work (but that isn't what this is for) and I even take a commission or two some times. Please don't mind the pictures they where taken with my phone.

Nice! The fiance wants to get into this hobby. Any tips for someone wanting to start?


A real hunter never returns empty handed. Spending time in the wilderness temporarily satifies the soul, but leaves us longing for more.

Nice! If you lived in Colorado you could make an absolute fortune making pipes and gravity bongs and such

Moon, as far as someone wanting to get into glass, be prepared for a lot of hard work, and spend as much time as you can dedicated to making the pieces, in the beginning the only way to get good is time. I had a project where I made 12 pieces, to get to 12 I actually made over 65 pieces. The 12 are the ones that survived! And be prepared to spend a lot of money, this is one of the most expensive hobbies you can do.

Great work! Those designs have some detail. I couldn't imagine planning something like that especially worrying about the glass cooling while you shape it.

Your stuff is great.(I have seen some crappy glass work that people sell as art.) Do you save a site where you post stuff that you sell?
