      Pieces of glass are heated to temperatures of 1200 C.  The
       
artist then uses a blow pipe with a mouthpiece at one end
     
to blow the glass.  He must work fast so that the glass
     
won't harden too quickly.  The artist spins the glass while
     
blowing it and reheating it to create the final work of art.
