The Glass Furnace




We’re in Santa Fe, New Mexico this week and one of the major reasons to be here is for the boys and I to take some glass blowing lessons. We’re doing most of our classes at Liquid Light studio but worked an extra one in yesterday morning at Prairie Dog Glass. This is a shot of the melt furnace at Prairie Dog. This unit runs constantly (the glory holes and kilns are turned off overnight but this one takes three days to get up to temperature) and holds about 500 pounds of molten, clear glass at somewhere around 2700 Fahrenheit (1500 Celcius).

For the technically inclined...

  • Aperture: ƒ/5
  • Camera: NIKON D810
  • Focal length: 70mm
  • ISO: 800
  • Shutter speed: 1/125s
