I think I may have just figured out how to fund this venture fully in the next month. Fingers crossed.

I just had to chime in on this, there is actually a cam whore that is a cam blower. Watched her blow glass nude before, easily in the top 10 things I have seen on the interwebs.

Congrats dude, I hope it comes though. Been thinking about getting started myself. Gonna shell out for some lessons at The Heat Base in VA to see if it strikes me fancy first though. If I fall in love (I know that I will) who knows what will happen.

^YOu can't drop a knowledge bomb like that with no clue on how to find her. I'm sure her sessions got recorded. I'm 99% sure we all would like to see that! haha

Sorry to disappoint those of you that are intent on telling me I need to take classes. Not gonna happen unless I move to where they have them or I suddenly come into a shit load of travel money.

My intent was to give you a honest opinion, you should always do what you think is best and what your heart desires. I'm not disappointed; I do hope the best for you in your journey with glass though.

Some people can't grasp learning and challenging yourself for the sake of the challenge. It frustrates them that you won't do it their way or that you don't somehow respect the path they have taken.

If I have to reinvent the wheel it will at least be my wheel.

I like what you said there. I was just thinking since you said you were motivated that you might be motivated enough to go learn the basics in my first post. If you can't financially, its to hard, or don't want to that is fine. I just feel there are some basic things everyone should learn, that effect everything you do with glass.

I actually like it so much that I'm gonna twist your words around a bit to fit myself.
I feel being a full time glass artist is a challenging path i suppose. I see this as an art and myself as an artist i try to do better work with every piece i make. I feel as if i have made some very complex pieces with glass and done complex things in my life too so maybe we are more similar then you think. I see glass every day as a challenge and that there will always be something new to learn since its always evolving and people are always having new ideas.
Through learning the basic principals of blowing glass by getting lessons. I was able to apply what I learned on my own to learn and solve harder techniques. From there I was able to challenge myself to make larger work and learn even harder things for the sake of a challenge. I get frustrated when a piece breaks so i either fix it or make another. I respect people that give respect and are honest and that have more experience then me and show respect.

Id like to learn how to run a 220 electric line or fly a plane, but i'm not just gonna try and do it myself, ill get someone to show me first then ill try.
Your acting like getting a glassblowing lesson is not challenging yourself, which is just funny to me since you haven't even blown glass and don't know how challenging it is at first. Glass blowing is always going to be challenging if you apply yourself and keep an open mind; as is anything in life if you keep trying and pushing yourself to do better you probably will.

Do whatever your heart desires and I will respect that like I said I'm just giving my opinions and you don't have to read or follow them its cool.
I won't bother you anymore with my opinions though so best of luck.

Id also like to see the cam girl video too.

No, I am acting like I don't have the time to go travel to get lessons and so I am making due with the hand I was dealt. I work, have a kid, I am working on an MBA, I play professional disc golf and I shoot. I taught myself to work steel and forge knives. No lessons. All internet and books. I am not scared of being shitty at something until I am not. I am a self taught Chef and was so professionally for years. Lessons would be great if someone would like to fly in and give them to me but unfortunately my local resources blow, or rather don't.

Sorry I got distracted. Had to go grab a new rig, basic production SG Recycler but I like it a lot. Small, clean, and classy.

Anyway, I'll look for her exact name but she is a model on MFC. If it's cool to link adult content I'll post a link but I would imagine that's a big nono?

Edit:
Found her. Not posting a link unless I get the go ahead. But this is some of her work. She sells them for the websites currency, tokens LOL. I like this girl.

Before anyone gets too excited, I don't actually have a video. I just found out what her name was, but who knows where that will take you. Her name is Bambi Kush.
