Question is : "I saw the guy making jewelry at Festival Glass what was the equipment he was using, is it difficult to learn? Does he use Blenko in his designs? Where are his things sold."
I saw him also and his creations were spectacular! and the price was very affordable. We ordered two large beads in WVU colors. When they arrive I'll upload photos.
We don't have information about this employee - we'll try to get a bio and photos of him and info about his glass jewelry.
The answer about the equipment is: 'EXACT' TORCH - One of the familiar sights around a glassblowing studio is the handheld propane torch with the can sized burner end on a pipe from a handle with a valve that parks the flame to pilot size or lets it blaze out. In crude form it is a weed burner. The 'Exact' torch has a history (here) and is now made under a different name and in a different country. In any case, a card from A.R.T.CO. indicates that they now have them in stock again. ARTCO - Exact Torches for Glassblowing and Glass Casting. Burners range from 70k to 300k Btu and tubes from 4" to 20".
