In
glassblowing, shaping tools are commonly used to manipulate the molten glass and create various forms. These tools are designed to aid the
glassblower in shaping the glass into desired shapes and sizes. They are typically made from heat-resistant materials, such as metal or wood, and come in different sizes and shapes depending on the specific shaping technique being employed. These tools allow the
glassblower to apply pressure, create curves, and refine the overall shape of the glass during the shaping process.
Here is a list of tools used to perform shaping:
