Glassblower

Glassblowers shape molten glass using tools and a blowpipe to create objects such as vases, bowls, art pieces, and lighting. The work requires careful attention to temperature, safety, and design. Workers may specialise in studio art, industrial glassmaking, or restoration of glass items. In the UK, glassblowing can be done in small workshop studios or larger production facilities, often combining creativity with technical skill. Training involves learning techniques like gathering, marvering, and blowing, as well as health and safety for hot materials.
