Tools used for Gathering (Glassblowing)

In glassblowing, there are various tools used to perform the task of gathering. These tools are designed to safely gather molten glass from the furnace and manipulate it according to the glassblower's needs. The tools used vary in shape and size but all serve the purpose of gathering molten glass and transferring it to the working area. This step is crucial in the glassblowing process as it allows the glassblower to shape, mold, and create beautiful glass objects with precision and skill.
