RE: The Results of Our Glassblowing Day

in #art7 years ago (edited)

Id love to, but im going to need a bit more in the way of steem to be able to afford it

  1. A glass furnace costs £60,000 UK (diy can bring that down to £20k).
  2. You need a couple of smaller furnaces (unfortunately called the "Glory Hole") to keep the glass hot between working sessions
  3. Jonathan's propane gas costs to run those furnaces was £2500 per month :o

Maybe it's not the hobby for me :)

Sort:  

Oh, my goodness! I had no idea that it was that expensive to start up! No wonder there aren't very many glass artisians!
