"Hi, I'm Tom Wright from Ginger Bread Glass and I'm here to today to show you how to make glass jar. We're just going to heat up the end here and I'm going to slightly get it down. You basically want to build to sit down, that's pretty close a little bit more. So there are some parts here that are not exactly perfect so I'm going to go back and kind of puff out the individual parts that I think that should be different in shape. This is where you have to be really careful a really slight slight possible that the glass is already thin and you just want to be careful. Cause if you blow out into a bubble it's all for none you pretty much ruined it. So we got that and we're going to pop it back in the kiln and reheat everything and then we're going to detach it."
