Artisanal glass dip pens will really enhance the experience of writing on paper. Made with hot fire and glass silica rods, they are easy to clean and look gorgeous. In this video, Halifax based artisan Janelle Tyler will walk you through how she crafts one of her pens, and at the end will show you how they can be used.
"Lampworking is a type of glasswork where a torch or lamp is primarily used to melt the glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking, as the modern practice no longer uses oil-fueled lamps. [...] Lampworking differs from glassblowing in that glassblowing uses a furnace as the primary heat source, although torches are also used."
"Tools for lampworking are similar to those used in glassblowing. Graphite is frequently used for the working surfaces of lampworking tools because of its ability to withstand high temperatures, low coefficient of friction, and resistance to sticking to the molten glass. Steel is used where greater strength is required. Some molds may be made from fruitwoods, but wood is primarily used for handles of lampworking tools. Brass may be used for working surfaces where a higher coefficient of friction is desired." - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampwor...

Those glasses she wears while heating up the glass make her look unintentionally badass
David Boucard and cute...
Badass- but silly. When you break glass under stress you want the glasses over your eyes, not stuck on your forehead... Also- curtains blowing in the background AND a long plait down your front while using a heavy duty torch like that is just inviting disaster. Safety first...
Rafi Lewin In fact those glasses are not intended to protect the eyes from splinters of braking glass (because even if you did something wrong and your piece of work would break under stress no fragments would fly around - if you are thinking of prince rupert's drop this is a very spacial strory, usually you won't get into such a situation "doing your daily glas blowing work" ;-) ). The main function of these special glasses is to filter out some specific rays of light from the glowing glas in the flame that can harm your eyes. Nice side benefit with this filtering is that the glasses also reduces this very brightness of the flame around the glas so the melting glas in the middle of the flame is more clearly visible. (Sorry, maybe not the best and most simple kind of explanation but English is not my first language and the last lesson in schoool was just about 29 years ago... ;-) )
Well, the plait certainly should not swing around. ^^ But you never lean over the torch or get to close to it with your head, you always stay behind it so the hair and plait should be save enough - ditto for the cutains though of course it would do any harm to have low-flammable fabric. ^^
Just to say: I had a full vocational education as a glas engraver and glas cutter, we also got some lessons in some other glas art crafts so as glas blowing... ;-)
the glasses are didymium glasses they filter out the sodium flare from the glass and the uv off the flame you dont see that big ball of orange while you have them on your able to see the where the glass is heating up and youd get welders flash without them
codyc73 Perfect (and way much shorter ^^) explanation! :-)
I bought two of her pens after seeing this video several months ago. They're without equal, absolutely beautiful, functional and unique. For anyone who appreciates a good pen for writing or who does pen and ink artwork, I highly recommend one of her pens. She's a real artisan.
Oh my gosh, I am soo excited. My great grandfather brought a glass pen with him from Germany when he emigrated to the USA in the early 1900's. His pen handle was cobalt and the nib was clear. You could not see where one started and one ended. My mom worked at a place where there were super microscopes and even then one could not see the demarcation. Watching you do this today I understand why. I am so glad that someone is continuing this beautiful art. I can't wait to send this to my brother who has custody of the pen,
lynne bash Thank-you so much for sharing this beautiful story! I was talking with my family at dinner this evening about how personal these pens are... Each one has a story and a reason for existing and a purpose in its' use..... Your story is so touching and lovely. Thanks again. :)
I honestly really want one now
Me too

I have no idea what it was I was supposed to be doing. I got online for a reason. But here I am...watching this adorable person make glass pens.
this channel needs more subscribers, the quality of content is simply too good to not be viral. it's liken to the quality of the documentaries vice puts out, great footage mixed with surreal imagery and music to make a truely interesting video
+Eddie Becerra Thanks Eddie! That put a huge smile on our faces.
Stereokroma no problem you guys deserve it!
+Stereokroma Seriously your videography is top notch, you have some very talented people.
Didn't know those existed! I'm impressed that they can hold so much ink!
lol when she said "you can also use other mediums" I was expecting blood to be next.
someoooooones been up to some rituals huh
*spirit cooking intensifies*
Wow. I am so impressed with your cool, calm, professional manner. You know a sign of a true artist is when they can make a difficult skill look easy. You are truly amazing. I would like to buy a couple for Christmas, so I will see you at the Market. Wishing you much love and success.
My mom just gave me a glass dip pen for Christmas, this just makes me appreciate it that much more.
She seems so happy while making the pen
Beautiful craftsmanship. The world thanks you for your attention to detail. Amazing.
+Memo Jimenez You are so welcome! :) Thanks for your super nice comment!
Oh my god this was so relaxing.
+Raumance That's one of the reasons I do this for a living.... Answering emails and such is much less relaxing... :)
you are true artisan, those pens are amazing , real good job
I am so glad to finally see you & your process and secretly crazy about the fact your Canadian! I have seen your pens everywhere on the internet, congrats! Go girl!
Patricia Tesselaar Thanks Patricia!!!
I watched this awhile ago and it stayed in my mind. I went to buy a gift for someone today and remembered this video. Little did I know I would find pens made by the artist here! Small world. It's beautiful and will make a perfect gift!
I am so amazed! Having known a little bit of Speedball growing up, this is a calligraphy tool to the next level.
I watched the entire process from start to finish and it STILL looks like you performed a minor miracle! thank you for posting this.
I knew about the glass pens and how nice they write. I knew about artist masking fluid and sizing. But I never thought about using them all together. Awesome job.
your voice it's so soothing!! this is very relaxing !
this is amazing. i almost can't believe it's actually possible to do this! incredible skill!!
I never knew there was such a thing as glass pens. simply amazing!
Thank you so much, always wanted to know how those were made. Feeling so satisfied about now.
Really nice. Love the demonstrations of the pens at the end.
That was TRULY incredible.
Glad to see more Halifax Artists!
I am a glass artist as well, I must tell you your torch work is great and your video is excellent. I have made glass dip pens for years and I was impressed as I watched your video. Keep up the great work.
Janelle has a very soothing voice.
Beautiful penmanship! Making the pen itself, then writing with it! You're one fine artist! ^^
You have the most relaxing voice I've ever heard and I love your beautiful pen! ❤
I appreciate your artistry. Keep it up.
What an amazing craftsmanship put into these pens! ✍️✍️✍️❣️❣️
i love this channel. i love the art of handmade stuff. her being canadian made this even better!
I find glasswork amazing... well, actually, I find most craftsmanship amazing as I am wholly untalented... regardless, this was a fantastic video and I enjoyed it. I hardly ever hand-write stuff, and even when I do I use a standard ball-point pen, but she made me want one of those dip pens.
BRAVO! You ROCK SISTA! Thanks for showing us this...SO INSPIRED!
I just LOVE your wonderfully functional and gorgeous pens!!!! I am sharing your video on my FB page, Roberta's Artistic Adventures & Favorite Links. I think your pen would work so much better than the Sharpies/Nano Liners and other markers I use in my mixed media projects. Those end up with ruined nibs and can't be used more than just a few times. Your pens are glass and would continue to work and as you demonstrated, hold the ink to allow longer applications of writing and drawing before requiring another dip into ink. LOVE these, Janelle!
Those are insanely beautiful! The world needs to feature true artists on massive platforms
and her handwriting is so beautiful. Mine looks like it got hit by lightening lol
Beautiful!
im a student and i absolutely love pens and wanted a special one for Christmas, one that really stands out and im very interested in these pens you make. Hopefully a Christmas present
What beautiful works of art your pens are! Loved watching you making this one! 🌟
That handwriting is so eyecatching!
...oh and of course the pen is absolutly amazing, pleasantly surprising is the fact that it retains so much ink without smudging the paper!
Kudos to you mam!
Fantastic video. Very interesting and informative. Janelle you did a great job on this video and I enjoyed every second!
Would love one of those gorgeous, delicate pens. Growing up, we used to go to Greenfield Village. My favorite stop was always at the glass blowing building. I still will stand from start to finish so I can see whatever is being blown that day. Loved your video. Thanks
Mary Popa Awww! Thanks for sharing your story! What a sweet image... :)
unexpectedly pleasant :) quite happy this showed up in my feed.
i have a 25 page report for biology due tomorrow, why am i watching this
