Heyy,

I've been hearing from a lot more people that they went to a college to learn how to blow glass. I was wondering if ANYONE knew any information about where these schools are? Especially around Massachusetts, and just the New England/North East area. If you guys are any better with google or already know information - i'd appreciate it a shit load. I can't find anything so far.

Thanks,​

i got a ":top of the line" kiln, the smallest one, but a nice model. it was $600. i have outgrown it already.

my first torch i got used off craigslist. got the used torch, a set of brand new regulators and a few tools for 250 bucks. my second torch cost me $500 new. i should be ok with it for awhile.
