Mark has taken fused glass to the next level, bringing it to the glory hole where it can then be blown out by the glassblower. It's a pretty cool process, beginning with creating a fused cylinder and matching "cookie" in the warm shop. The pieces are then reheated in a kiln at the hot shop and transferred to the blow pipe of the glassblower. It can then be taken to the glory hole and blown into a vessel of the blower's choosing.
