Glass Blowing

Another form of what I would consider Art Therapy is Glass Blowing. This is one I have not personally experienced as of yet. However, I have watched Blown Away on Netflix which peaked my interested enough to start watching random people on YouTube doing this activity. All of it got me to thinking about the patience and stability one would need behind these kinds of pieces. This is something I dearly want to try, even if I do feel like I would break the first 30 pieces in an attempt of something so small. If you can train your mind to be calm, rolling the metal pipe back and forth, carefully blowing life into a fragile piece of glass at high temperature, I feel would be the greatest release of them all. To have something to focus on with no distractions, clear and precise movements, and all with grace. I fully admire those who have this technique down to a science, and hope I may aspire to be similar to them someday. I’ve always dreamed of doing something artistic and this would be the biggest dream of all. To be able to have a shop where I can make any custom-made glass product with skill and precision. I think it would be really fun to master this technique. Maybe some day…
