wine glass – Jason Stropko Glass

you know that you get amazing discounts on any prices that we post, right? Right?https://www.etsy.com/shop/jasonstropko

Just make sure to play your friends & family card and don’t forget to flutter eyelashes (that goes for both male and female friends, as there we have one male and one female running this glass adventure – flutterings always welcome)

It is just important that we post life sustaining prices for those people who are not (yet) our friends and family. Because who would want to get stuck living in an RV motorhome, right?

Sometimes walking around the glass studio we see some surprises, here is some antique czech glass stemware belonging to Alex Abajian.

The coils that you see the foot being made with: these demonstrate one of the oldest glassmaking process that were used before glass was even blown; whereby molten glass was wound around a clay core to create vessels..

This process was followed by the advancements brought by mould making and casting glass and only in 50 BC did blown glass enter the scene.
