What Makes Hand Blown Glass So Special?
The art of hand blown glass started hundreds of years ago when people first discovered the ability to form molten glass out of sand and fire. Once a ball of molten glass was created, air was blown into it through a long pipe in order to form an object or decorative piece. Today, much of the same techniques are used when making hand blown glass pieces. This may lead one to wonder, if this process has been around for so long, then why are these hand blown glass pieces still so valuable today? In short, the answer is because these items are very unique and as we all know one-of-a-kind or extremely rare items always become a hot commodity. Hand blown glass items are no exception.
Although the process of creating hand blown glass remains relatively the same, advances have been made in technology that allow for modern artists to have more control over their glass creations. For instance, it is now possible to use all the colors of the rainbow in a single piece, as well as be able to swirl the colors in specific forms or patterns. Artists who work with hand blown glass also understand how to use natural (or fluorescent) light to help bring new dimensions and depth to their work. This is just another reason why hand blown glass pieces are so special. Each piece is evidence of a particular artist's vision as well as his or her great skill in order to bring that vision to life. These works are not created by machines or in molds. They are formed by human hands and creative breath. When a person purchases a piece of hand blown glass they are buying art that took a great deal of thought and time to create. No one else in the world will be able to own that same exact piece, with those same colors, or with those same designs.
So why is hand blown glass so special? It is because of how it makes people feel. People feel incredibly special when they know that they own the first, the last, and the only version of a beautiful piece of art.
