(fire blowing) - I've been blowing glass for now 21 years, making stuff out of glass.

When I was in college, I started kind of traveling and seeing the world, and I saw people making stuff out of glass with a torch, like how I make it now.

I thought it was really cool and really interesting and it seemed almost like magic.

And I guess I still feel that same way, when you make something new or when you practice and refine a technique and then you try it again and you finally get what you're going for and you look at it and you just, it just feels like magic.

The glass is really, it's cold and it's hard and so when it gets introduced to the fire, it wants to break and pop and snap.

So you got to introduce it nice and slow.

And, most of the things I've tried to make really intricate and really small.

Now I'm doing things where I don't want little air bubbles and blemishes and things in there because I don't want our eyes to get distracted from these other things I'm making.

And, well sometimes I'll make like underwater techniques with fish and coral, and then I'll try to have air bubbles in there because it kind of looks neat with the underwater scene and having air bubbles and things.
