Milk With Pulp Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I am looking for a glass blowing shop out here or possibly online, where I can give the opening dimensions and then design the vase to my liking, been looking online for a glass blowing site, would be really interested in one, the cost might kinda be steep but screw it, if it adds that WOAH factor to when people see it, might as well go for it.The design kinda is just a completely clear vase with either SWIRLS in it of certain colours, or possibly a design of a vase.Nothing too exotic and wild but kind of out there, but still very sturdy.Any help or opinions would be appreciated, I am still currnently looking.

ZenSilk Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Yep i was looking for a while too. ANd then this guy said he could do it and then he wasn't able to actually form it for some reason. And they are more expensive than a brand new Mya so really there's not much of a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeans_redux Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Maybe check the yellowpages near you...or go to a craft thing. I know we have a Maker Faire near where I live and I watched some guy do glass-blowing last year. It was amazing to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
