I worked for a glassblower for many years and know many others - it only takes one. There are exceptions of course, considering the size of the piece or if you are Dale Chihuly for example. I think you would find that most glassblower crafts folk are single person studios or a single glass blower with support in other areas like grinding, polishing, or other studio duties. It is a blast though and like the violin in music, the most difficult medium to master. Hi Kelly,
