Glass Organizer Lampworking - Glass Blowing Techniques

Questions answered, Boxes open, bubbles blown all on this episode! Glassblowing and Lamp working, a lens into the art and functionality of glass through science and experimentation. A journey for the mind and tranquility for the soul.

Hello, I'm Matt Jasa. If you are interested in learning about Glass blowing or Lamp working my channel offers a lot of advice on the techniques, tools, and general safety. Make Artistic pieces (animals, marbles, pendants), scientific items, and blown functional glass. Put your mind to it and with practice you can make anything!
Some more specific projects you might find on this channel are Glass Chain Necklaces, Glass Pendants, Marbles, Magnifying Glasses, Glass on Glass Fittings ( GonG ) and Blown Spheres. I also use small explosives from time to time for scientific tests; however these eplosive projects should never be attempted at home, safety is my highest precaution! Never attempt glass blowing without proper ventilation and eye protection.
Check out my videos on setting up your glass blowing torch along with how to adjust for the right flames; such as neutral, oxidizing and reducing flame before you begin. Learn how to cut, clean and prepare your glass for future projects.
Never store your propane in-doors, Always keep propane tanks outside! Propane gas is heavier then air, if a leak occurs it will begin to pool and fill a closed room or basement which can lead to an explosion.
If you have any questions about glass blowing, lamp working, or this video please leave them in the comment section down below. I may not respond immediately as I'm mostly busy in the glass shop but I'll get to it as soon as I can. If I don't respond to your question I might have missed it; please re-comment the question on the relative video.
Please join me in this exciting journey to see what can be done with glass. I create these videos to enrich others in the process; teach them to create their own works, but also for everyone else to enjoy the unique perspective and spectacular show that science/nature can provide.
I put a lot of work and time into each video. Most projects require 1 to 2 hours to complete in the shop and then several more editing the footage while adding voice-over. I've worked on some videos well through the night and into the next morning. So help me bring glass blowing and lamp working to others; please share this video on your social feed, be apart of the awesome journey.

Thanks Matt for such an informative and educational video on those three different types of glass. I worked with Quartz (fused silica) and Borosilicate in a scientific/Laboratory setting for many years and it's good to see you continuing this art form. I just discovered your channel so I am pretty stoked and excited to see your videos. Keep up the good work brother.
