Step-by-step instructions on glass blowing witches balls?

Answer 1

If your version of witches balls are the ones with filaments across the inside (not just an ornament with color on the outside), then you do a couple of gathers on your blow pipe, start your bubble and inflate to about 1/3-1/2 final size. Reheat. You then use an ice pick or a tungstun flameworkers probe and push the hot glass in swiftly to the other side in several locations, which obviously distorts the bubble. Reinflate the bubble, reheat and block the bubble to a sphere. With practice you will find the starting size, thickness of wall and kind of touch that produces the result you want. Then you treat it like an ornament - crack it off in a fiber lined bowl and do a hot bit to seal the hole and shape into a loop for hanging.

Blown Glass Witch Balls

Answer 4

Hollow balls, you mean? You get some molten glass on the end of your blowpipe from the furnace, turn it and blow it to about the size you want, then take it off the blowpipe and shape it on your regular pole. Then you let it cool down and work it in the cold shop.

Unless you're a glass artist, you'd be better off buying them as it's hard to find a place to make your own glass.

Answer 5

I think you are refering to the "Crystal Ball" that spiritual mediums gaze into for signs or portents.
First, there is no way to blow a crystal ball, because the orb is solid glass. It's not hollow.

But I think the price is over eight hundred dollars ( $800.00)
