Glassblower’s Window

Work the hot gather

Rotation · rpm Inflation · breath Glass color

Inflation needs heat ≥45. Rotation needs heat ≥20. Hot glass sags under slow rotation; steady turns reduce asymmetry.

Steps consume heat; no time pressure. Anneal a shaped gather at heat ≤20. This is a bounded studio model, not a real furnace process.

A self-contained studio study. Work is saved here; the shelf retains the latest eight. No network or automatic chat messages.
