Make your own piece > buying a piece

[index]

I have been a glass nerd for along time and just about a month ago I started blowing glass, it's so much fun and it's really inexpensive. Most of the cost of a piece in a headshop is all profit for the blower.

How about expanding a bit more on the topic to make this an educational piece instead of a simple personal statement..... I'm sure many would like to hear of your endeavor.

I must disagree....what is the cost of his materials, equipment, let alone the need of having a fully geared studio to work in. Its not that big of a margin believe me. Most glass blowers are broke dicks anyways so they cant be making that much dinero. Most of the blowers i know are always begging for something....lol
