Glass Art

Movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5aNdoL_9Jo&NR=1

We were just browsing through Youtube looking for something interesting to watch when we came upon this video of a guy making a showpiece using Glass Blowing. What interested us a lot about this video was that this person was using a Gas blower and simple tools to make his work of art. Seeing him work made us really enthusiastic since the whole setup looked like something that even we could setup. Immediately we showed this video to David and he said that if we can get the materials for it we might actually be able to create a Glass Blowing section to the workshop. Though it seems like a piece of cake but we knew it might not be that easy since doing glass blowing is a very difficult skill.
