I bought a pipe while visiting relatives in cali. The dude at the shop told me a local guy made them. That got me thinking about the fact that I could really do that. I was 16 then. 22 now

The day I met a the first blower I ever met, I asked him way too many annoying questions. He let me watch him 3 times then said pay up or push off. So I pushed off. Saved up. saved up. saved up. Got shit, got hooked up with a spot in an off campus metal working shop and taught myself based on what I saw my friend do in those three times and what I could see online. Cosmo let me come to his place and watch and even let me try a pendant before I got my own stuff set up. He helped me alot. I met him here on the forum.

My friend eventually let me work at his shop once he saw that I could blow glass and we have been sharing shops off and on since then.
