Mobile Glassblowing Studios has it figured out...

"We needed mobility and the Mini fits our needs. We purchased the Mini, the CAT-60, the bench, and the accessory cart. Everything fits easily into our 6x12 trailer. We've had participants as young as 6 years old and some in their 80s. Everyone is thrilled to make an item and take it home in a little more than an hour."

Blow glass at your convenience...

"Great little machine for someone who does not want to hire, or doesn't have access to a larger 24/7 glassblowing furnace. The Mini Dragon makes it possible to blow glass at your convenience and where you choose to site it. In New Zealand the places available to be able to blow glass are very limited, so using your own furnace makes perfect sense."

The team...

"Once upon a time, I was in search of special equipment for shaping glass and sculpting it. After a lot of searching, I came across a company that offered an amazing product line for all my needs. From equipment for shaping glass to a wonderful blow, everything was easy to install and uncomplicated. Another thing that stood out to me was the high degree of safety that their products offered.
As someone who works with glass, safety was a top priority for me. But what impressed me the most was the team behind the products. They were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed. In fact, their level of customer service was so good that I didn't hesitate to buy a variety of products from them.
And let's talk about the prices! They offered some of the most competitive prices that I had seen. 
Overall, I must say that I am extremely satisfied with both the equipment and the team interactions. If you're looking for reliable glass shaping and sculpting equipment, I highly advise you to check them out."

Creative Freedom...

"My Little Dragon affords an opportunity to play with glass in a way that is less money-driven and more creative...you can make anything you want out of this furnace. Reduced stress from low overhead and easy on & off allows my mind to wander to new creative places."
-James Friedberg
Little Dragon owner

Love at First Sight...

"I was an early adopter, and got a great deal on a great furnace. It's easy to use, easy to set up and go. The customer service has been stellar any time I needed it."

The Recuperator saves money...

"The Phoenix with the Correll heat exchanger is great and saves money. The images I provided were made from the Phoenix and I used it as my glory hole. This Murano Style chandelier has 550 pieces so far and will be the entryway into clients home in Maui, Hawaii."

Great way to start your own glassblowing studio...

"[The Mini Dragon] allows me to quickly set up to blow my glass. Favorite Aspects of the furnace are the all terrain wheels and portability. Lots of fun, was so awesome to blow glass at the Trojan Horse at Pilchuck. Helpful in continuing to build my glass business and the ability to experiment with new designs."

Damn fine furnace...

"As a steel worker people ask me all the time why I didn't make the furnace. I tell them its the best piece of art I've ever bought. It saved me years of experimenting with design, airflow and casting etc. These Southern boys make a damn fine furnace."

Reliable and Profitable...

"We use our Little Dragon furnace 4-7 days a week, 48 weeks a year providing hot glass experiences to first-time students. By allowing my business to be profitable, the economic freedom has given me the ability to be creative without worrying about money."
-Douglass C. Brown

First Hot Shop...

"We wouldn't have our own hot shop if it wasn't for our (Double Little) Dragon. We love being able to turn our equipment on and off as needed, and still feel excited when we're unloading the annealer each time."
-Einar de la Torre

Public Access...

"We first purchased our Little Dragon because of its mobile capacity, and it was ready to go right out of the box. Our Dragon allows us to take our mission statement outside the studio and extends our reach of education & public awareness around glass. We go out and blow glass, and people love it."

First Dragon in Canada...

I saw my first Dragon at a Glass Gathering in Canada, and my mind was blown! The CAT-60 debuted there, too, which was unbelievable. I now use my Baby Dragon 3-4 days a week, and am having so much success with teaching that I can focus more on my sculpture again."
