Glass blowing has been practiced by Mexican artisans since the art form was introduced to the country in the 16th century. The techniques used in glassblowing have remained nearly the same since it was first discovered. It involves molten glass, and a hollow pipe. Air is blown through that pipe and the pliable glass blooms into a bubble form. From there, it’s shaped by swinging, rolling, blowing or pressing. Additional elements may be attached using welding. The size, shape and design features are nearly endless, and are limited only by the skill of the artisan.
