"Hello I'm Tom Wright from Ginger Bread Glass on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment, we are going to talk about glass. Now obviously when you are blowing glass, you are going to need glass. So basically glass comes in two forms color and clear. (Can we start over I'm just going to talk about what kind of glass we are using cause I'm using a specific kind of glass.) In this segment, we are going to talk about glass. Now the glass that we are using today for this blowing segment is borosilicate glass. Now borosilicate has a Coe which is a coefficient of thirty-two. Now this is up to three times stronger then your average glass that you would find at home or any glass where you have. Now there is two kinds of borosilicate glass we have the color rods here and then we have the clear rods here. Now clear rods are the majority of what you are going to use but the color obviously is what gives it its pop and its flare. Now beyond just clear rods that are solid they are also in tubes. Tubes are also easy to use which you can fill them and use them to already give you a coating of clear on the outside. With all of these together, you can make many combinations of almost anything you can ever imagine. So we are going to create a use of many combinations that you can create beautiful glass art. "
