Notably the Salem community college program has produced a number of the big names in "scientific" glass pipe blowing(i.e. bong moguls).
I'd imagine the money is better making high end smoking apparatus than lab gear.
- seanp2k2 10y agoAs far as I'm aware, artistic glass blowing is a different field from the scientific stuff, with different training and different schools. For those unfamiliar with what's out there, the work of this person is pretty famous and sought-after http://saltglass.com http://saltglass.com
- HarryHirsch 10y agoThe schooling is different but the techniques overlap. Sally Prasch at Syracuse University (http://praschglass.com/ http://praschglass.com/) is a master in both fields. My personal experience with the bong types, though, is that the great majority is undertrained.

What you are thinking of is hot glass using a kiln. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampworking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampworking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glassblowing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glassblowing
