Interested In Glass Blowing

[Nick_oreo]

Hey! I'm new here and have I'm wondering if anyone has some info about glass blowing and where I can learn the arts. I'm wanting to open a medical dispensary when I'm older and want to know if what I want todo is possible. So my I have a few questions to ask, what is the best place to go to learn glass blowing and do all places teach how to make things like pipes, bongs, dome pieces etc. also where can I get and how much do materials cost to make such pieces. I'd highly appreciate any info on the topic thank you again.

Anything $130-200 will probably do pipes, bongs need something a ton stronger, probably in the $700-800 range maybe? Check glassblowing places around you, but if you want to just do pieces, try to find a place that does that so you get specialized classes. Where are you?
