Glory Hole

The glory hole is another high heat oven used in the glassblowing process. Typically, it stays at around 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. Most glory holes have opening doors in front; this allows the artist to use the same glory hole for larger and smaller pieces. A yoke sits in front of the glory hole's opening; the yoke contains two ball bearings, which allows the artist to simply rest the blowpipe down and turn evenly while inside the glory hole.
