[Nfb-krafters-korner] Glass blowing crafts

[Rhonda Selby]

I have always wanted to be able to do this too, but figured the glass would 
become entirely too hot to be able to know by touch what kind of shaping was 
taking place. There are all sorts of high temperature safe gloves out there, 
but they would have to be very thin for a totally blind person to feel what 
they are doing.

Hmm.  .  How can you check what you want with your hands before the fire 
makes the glass flexible enough?
