The day of the life of a glass maker.To day the year was 1740 and I was making a window for a cabin.The way to make glass is to get sand and chemicals and then and then blend them in a pot called a crucible.Then melt the mixter in vary hot fire.Then you dip a pipe in the liquid glass.Then blow into the pipe to make a glass bubble.Then you use special tools to shape the glass or you can mold the glass into the heated mold.If you are unhappy with your piece then you can reheat your glass then begin again.Glass must be cooled slowly and evenly if not it will become brittle.
