These are the two main types of glassblowing. The majority of Legacy Glass is produced through lampwork. Lampwork involves the use of a torch fueled by propane and oxygen where glass tubes are heated and shaped above an open flame. Following this, color is heated and applied to the glass tubes. The artist blows into the tubes which creates shapes. Once the piece is done on the torch, it is placed in a kiln to heat the piece evenly and then cooled down evenly to prevent cracking. This is the glassblowing technique used to make tobacco pipes, jars, shot glasses and a great deal of glass art. Soft glass is when the glass is heated in a molten furnace of glass. Next the glassblower gathers glass on the end and blows a bubble with a blowpipe or blowtube. This is how the artist manipulates the glass. This technique is used for larger objects like vases, mugs and other larger pieces of glass art.
