Glassblowing - Sally's Reading Class（第12周）

Glassblowing

Written by Mara Rockliff

I am a glassblower. 

Watch me make a beautiful glass bowl.

The oven that holds the glass is very, very hot. 

The hot glass is runny, like honey.

I dip my long pipe into the hot glass.

I roll the pipe on the table to smooth and cool the glass.

I blow into the pipe.

I blow a bubble in the gooey glass.

I try not to blow too hard.

I add other colors to make the bowl even more beautiful.

I dip my pipe into the oven again. 

The oven makes the colors flow.

My tools help me to shape the glass.

I spin the glass as fast as I can.
The bowl gets wider and wider.

I break off the pipe. 

I heat the glass again to make it smooth.

The glass cools slowly.

My beautiful bowl is done.
