glassblowing this is a very handy skill to have, since most university glassblowers are overworked and way behind schedule. It's also lots of fun!
Background and History of Glass and Glassblowing
Glass Working OCR a textbook of nearly 200 pages from the Scribd site (kind of like Kindle). It's an old book but highly detailed and expert.
