Glass artist Scott Young creates an array of sculpture, jewelry, paperweights, platters, bowls, and many other objects, large and small.   Scott's work is ever-changing and the items you see throughout this website are but a small sampling.   Scott uses all of the following processes in his work:
Glassblowing is the process of forming glass into useful shapes while the glass is in a molten, semi-liquid state.  A person who blows glass is called a glassblower, glassmith, or gaffer.
Lampworking is glassworking using a torch to melt and shape the glass.  It is also known as flameworking or torchworking, as the modern practice no longer uses oil-fueled lamps.
Fusing is the process of using a kiln to join together pieces of glass.  If you apply heat to glass, it will soften.  If you continue to apply heat, the glass will become more fluid and flow together.  Two or more pieces of glass will stick (or "fuse") to each other.  When the right kind of glass is heated and then cooled properly, the resulting fused glass piece will be solid and unbroken.
