Research help needed...

What for?

A book, of course.

Subject of research?

Glass-blowing.

Glass-blowing is something I've always wanted to learn, but have never found any classes in/near my area. So, what do I do? I decide to write a book where it's the main character's specialty.

The only problem with this is that I don't have a clue as to what sort of equipment is needed to set up a small studio or even what the basic process of creating an item is. Everytime I go online to do research about it, I get led in 100 different directions...from blown glass for sale to blown glass dildos. I have yet to find anything useful at this point.

Although...a deco dildo would be a nice paperweight.

*crickets*

Anyway, it's not something I need right away. Within the next couple of months, maybe.

So if you have any knowledge of glass-blowing at all...including pics...I'd LOVE the help. I can't pay with anything other than my love and adoration and a thank you in the foreward and a copy of the book (if you want it) when/if published.

But that's something...right?
