Glass Vocabulary
Just a few terms here so far... more to come as time goes on.
- encalmo
- See incalmo. I'm not really sure which spelling is more
correct, but I've seen both, so...
- incalmo
- A way of forming a blown glass object from two or more
different pieces, fused together and then further worked on
a blow-pipe.
- reticello
- A fascinatingly cool grid pattern of (traditionally) white
stripes in clear glass, with a bubble at the center of each
clear grid-square. Formed by encasing one cane cup, rotated
one way, with another, rotated the other way. I have not
yet tried this, but I hope to get to that point some day.

these was missing at least one term I cared about, so I link to them for
those wanting to learn, but started my own as well, for myself):
