    Does anyone here know how to blow glass? If so, what are some materials I will need in order to take on this hobby, and what would be a ball-park estimate regarding the cost of what I'll need? I'd like to start small, and eventually build up to making sculptures and whatnot, but for now I'd like to start with small things... I've heard a propane torch will work, but that is just what I heard from a guy who claims to have made some bowls at a Panic show in Columbia. Bowls are cool, but I have bigger things in mind...
