Anyone ever done any? Been on any courses? Built a glass furnace inthe back garden? I'd like to learn how to blow glass, but functional recycled glass, not arty farty bud vases

Been browing various glass sites online, and this one isn't glassblowing, but a nifty technique that I'm going to have to try- its a way to turn bottles into tumblers without any special cutting equipment

That sounds good, let me know how you get on, and what you have to do to make them?
