    It's nice to hear the artist himself explaining what's going on as it happens. I wish there was a place close by where I could learn to do this

      There are open access studios all over the world! You can google your area plus glassblowing studio and usually find something. Thanks for watching!

    I'm not a huge art person but these things make the world a better place.

    Maravilloso ver, desde Santiago de Chile, un artesano tan dedicado y fenomenal... acá es un oficio poco conocido, es un poema ver los trabajos que realizan!!!
