Mollie surprised me on my half-birthday (never had one of these, but I dig it. a birthday celebration 6 months into your current year) and set up a private glass blowing lesson at Austin Art Glass on South Congress. Aaron Gross owns the shop and teaches private lessons (as well as UT classes).
It's a process of heating the glass in a kiln, blowing out for some volume and size, and then rolling out the shaping using a variety of shaping tools (paddles, metal sheers) and a cooling process.
Left over broken bits.
Rolling it out.
Extremely hot kiln to melt the glass together, prior to blowing it out.
