Earlier this month, we launched the first ever Dr. Dabber Glass Games. With so much attention surrounding our latest eRig, the Boost EVO, we figured, what better a time than now to hold a glass blowing competition in an effort to find some of the best designs in the industry.
A Quick History on Glassblowing
Glassmaking has been around for centuries, dating as far back as 1500 BC, when it was believed that Mesopotamians made the very first glass vessels. According to potguide.com, Phoenicians created glass blowing techniques around 500 BC and Italians later dominated the glass production industry by 1400 AD. What we’re trying to say is–glassblowing has been around for a long time, but it wasn’t until the early 1960’s that this artistry made its way to the states. Right around this time, glass artists found a new reason to combine art with function, merging glass art pieces with cannabis functionality, creating an entirely new market. While glass pipes have been around for awhile, the glassblowing industry has advanced exponentially over the years, creating some of the most intricate and heady designs for attachments, dab rigs, carb caps, pipes, bongs, and more.
Glass is preferred by many stoners due to its purity–it’s a super clean material to smoke out of/dab off of. Unlike metal, ceramic, or other materials, when glass is heated, it doesn’t give off toxic fumes or emit weird odors or flavors–it just gets hotter. Bonus–a glass surface will also help to preserve your terps.
Glass blowers are truly talented artists, as glass-blowing is no easy feat. It takes a certain level of creativity and imagination to become a glass artist and it’s not uncommon for hand blown pieces to take hours to design, costing upwards of thousands of dollars for a unique piece.
