Nice to see the high end still in action; at the cheap-and-cheerful end I read a survey chemistry lab book by someone teaching at a small liberal arts college in which he claims many civilisationally-useful reactions can be run in 2L drink bottles. https://www.cavemanchemistry.com https://www.cavemanchemistry.com EDIT: I was once surprised to learn that a glass artist friend knew a great deal about borosilicate, until I figured out that while he was proud of his art glass, he was paying his bills via the craft of glass products intended for consumption of tobacco and legal herbs only.

It's either that, lumpy shapes for bodily orifices, or develop some real talent: https://linotagliapietra.com/artwork https://linotagliapietra.com/artwork Frankly pipes and bongs are much easier and don't have the same health and safety liabilities as bad dragon glasswares.

EDIT: https://linotagliapietra.com/artwork/tasmania https://linotagliapietra.com/artwork/tasmania is an excellent material shadow of Hesse's glass bead game. The reticello uses cane laid down upon independent axes, a wedge product of canes if you will, and then this work layers those in the remaining spatial dimension —alongside the bubble as neutral element? or dreamtime?— to produce an aesthetic effect evoking its namesake. If we were playing the gbg with textual quotations instead of murrine, one might almost imagine this work as proceeding in a Hegelian manner: the first axis of cane as thesis, the second axis as antithesis, and the perpendicular excursion as synthesis?
