History of Glassblowing

Glassblowing is a very old

art. It began about four thousand

years ago in Mesopotamia

(mehs-uh-puh-TAY-mee-uh).

Glassblowing is

blowing air into

liquid glass to

shape it.

The first popular use of glass

was in ancient Rome. This is

because the first metal pipe for

blowing glass was invented in

Rome. The Romans were able to

make glass easily and skillfully.

A New World of Glass

Glassblowing was one of

the first businesses in the New

World. Captain John Smith

brought gaffers from Europe.

Jamestown, Virginia

Gaffers are glassblowers.

They built their factory near the

sandy shores of Jamestown.

More people knew how

to blow glass in the past than

people know how to do so today.

glassblowinglong ago

But modern gaffers still blow

glass in much of the same way

gaffers did long ago.

glassblowingtoday

Glassblowing has not changed

much over time.

Modern gaffers still use tools

very much like those the Romans

used.
