Blowing glass is hard work.I have to melt the glass ,blow it,and shape it.most of the time I have to start over.Blowing glass can be fun!Though,you have to be skilled.You can make all types of things!I get to use all types of tools,like a crucible!A crucible is used to mix all the cemicals and sand to make the glass.I only work seven months a year, so I can rest my lungs and heart.My favorite part about my job is blowing glass bubbles,they can be small,medium,and big.When I make vases, I have to heat it back up a couple of times because the glass doesn’t stay hot for long.Im very glad to be a glassmaker,its a very good job!
