INTERNAL FIRE GLASS

SCOTT PERNICKA

Borosilicate glass, or what is known as hard glass, starts melting at a temperature of 1200 degrees. Using a torch fueled by propane and oxygen(which gets to about 3000 degrees) I heat the glass to form and shape it. Colors, which are made of metal oxides, are then applied. This style of glass blowing is called flame working or Venetian.
