Try Making Glass on your Holiday

[Puffin13]

Yesterday, a friend in "MY" coffeeshop gave me a flyer for an Amsterdam glass blower. My friend is taking the classes. The flyer reads:

Try Making Glass on your Holiday

Tired of smoking weed yet?

Why not take a glass making class with international award winning pipe artist Karl Termini (he is from the usa).

+smoker friendly
+flexible hours
+good pricing

On the back of the flyer it gives location, directions and a summary.

Location:

Studio Termini
Javastraat 126T
Amsterdam
06-29 28 94 53
www.studiotermini.com (still under construction)

There are also some of his videos on You Tube; search for Amsterdam Glass Blowing.

This looks really cool! I'm gonna check it out for myself. I would love to learn how to create some nice glass pieces to sell or give away to friends.
Peace n Love.

That is pretty cool, for sure! I've wanted to try blowing glass, but it's really expensive just to buy the stuff and try to figure it out. In A'dam, I probably wouldn't spend more than 3 or 4 hours blowing glass though, there's so much other stuff going on .

it would be cool to have your very own custom piece made by yourself.

that is the allure to me of growing...the reward of my work. I guess it would be even more satisfying if I was smoking out of a piece I made as well.

VERY COOL.

funnily enough this is something I have been thining of over the past month... more and more seriously every time I mull it over. There's not much in the way of teaching avaliable over here in the UK though-not for lampwork with borosilicate for bong making anyway lol, we havent really got a hippy glass blowing bong making scene like in north america particularly ...
If I could get my hands on a book explain the basics, and safety and such that'd be a start lol...I know i could practice shaping some tubing using a normal muxed gas blowtirch as demonstated by someone making their own diffuser here... I ca even see some things in my head that i would like to try to make.... Id appreciate any pms from blowers with info or links to info.....
Be lucky
