You need a very high heat torch like a large gas flame.

Hi:
Check out lampworking, fusing or blown types of glasswork. With lampworking, you can use a blowtorch. Once a lampworking piece has been created, usually the piece will be placed in an annealling kiln to cool slowly for about 24 hours. The various glass types that are available for fusing have different COE numbers so if you mix them to fuse, when the glass cools, you will probably get cracks because the rate of expansion and contraction will be different for each. Check out a good online store that will have some helpful information for you. Hope this helps.

It depends on what kind of glass you're taking about. Is it pure? Is it recycled? Colored?
Glass is its own type of beast. If you're doing tabletop glassblowing (small scale sculpture), it's much different than traditional glassblowing (like vases, glasses, plates) as far as the temperatures and time and everything.
