Best (Glassy) Blow Job for Spectators

Glassy Knoll

How could we resist such prurience when some standard operating equipment in the field includes the "glory hole" and the "lip wrap" (rods and blow-hoses notwithstanding). You'll have to ask the gleeful gaffers at Glassy Knoll about all that, though. All's we know is they got mad skillz. If you've ever wondered how that gleaming, towering beauty your roommate has stashed under his bed was made, Glassy Knoll will show you the way. With their many torches, punts, tubes of glass, and rods of colors, these pros demonstrate their artsy glassblowing techniques on a daily basis through a window in the store, allowing you to observe, firsthand, the process that creates such elegance. While you watch in wonder, check out the fruits of their many labors: wine glasses, beads, and, of course, long, hard pipes you can puff on.
