I can't believe we forgot to stay for this that day! But watching "Blown Away" is even more fun now that we've been to CMOG and especially the hot shop demos.
Great hosting, Helen!
Whenever I see Nancy is doing a demonstration "I guess I know what I'm doing for the next two hours!"
What teamwork and joy in the working! the 2 ladies obviously have great respect and affection for each other as well as their own mastery of the craft. No wonder the teardrop has turned out so beautifully! Congratulations to all who worked together to make this beautiful and large piece of glass!
How do they get the glass off of the pipes when they’re through blowing glass?

They dunk the ends into the buckets of cold water they use to strip gathers. The cold water thermal shocks any glass off the pipe

Did you use thermolaster (a technique iridescent glass by spraying a solution on hot molten glass)

Is there some set sort of program to glass blowing? IE: It seems so random, where she used the fluffy torch. How do you know where to torch? Color? Experience? Random chance? Lol. Sorry, I'm crazy. As always, all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👩🍳 1:56: Final product? Where did all the cane work go? Disappointed.
Out of my my league. Not like cooking at all. Lol. As always, all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👩🍳 Does the color have a bearing on the cost of bars of color?👩🍳

Yes. Glass is coloured using metallic oxides usually, just like artists paints, and like paints the price varies depending on the cost of the ingredients which ofc vary the colours, for example pink or ruby from gold, cobalt can come from blue, green from iron. The cost of that metallic component has a great bearing on the cost of the glass. Also glass is made to different recipes, and some are more expensive than others
