Corning Barge 03

This is where it really starts to get cool.  Ya i know it already been pretty cool (well actually its HOT!)

Anyway look as the master gets more glass ready

Now he joins onto the ‘bulb’ with his piece, our apprentice lines it up

Hey look here!  now we detach from the original blowpipe, we have the piece by the other end!

Now reheat the piece, got more magic to perform

Now it time to pierce it!

Then he makes it wider

WIDER

Wider still –

The pear shape is gone!  This will not be a big light bulb.

So did you go see the barge??  HURRY its traveling away!
