Question: Any advice on glass blowing!?
I am going to be a freshman in college this fall and my major is Art!. I really love fine arts, but I am not consistent with my work because I don't think it's something I'm passionate enough about it, but I do enjoy art!.

I was thinking about going into glass blowing though!. I took a glass workshop class in high school (we made mosaics and such), but we never had the opportunity of glass blowing!. I really would love to do it for a career!.

I would just like to know what glass blowing entails!. What does it require!? Is there enough careers out there for glass blowers!? Where are they popular!? Anything at all would help!. I would really like to figure out if this is for me!. Obviously trying to blow glass is the best way, but right now that is not possible so any advice, tips, or knowledge would help!. Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
