Crafthub - The Cross Tutorial

Fundamental to most hand-blown glass, a properly formed punty allows the glass maker to transfer objects from the pipe for final reheating and finishing of vessel forms. In this Craft Hub tutorial, the glass making team at Nova University’s VICARTE Research unit in glass and ceramics offer glass makers with a basic knowledge of blowing and other off-hand techniques a step-by-step guide. In this video, the form under examination is known as the cross punty. This guide will give you the central choreography and timing to practice and perfect your own punties for use as needed.
