Although the art form has been practiced since ancient Syrian times, it became widely practiced in Murano, Italy in the 14th century. glassblowing in that glassblowing uses a blowpipe to inflate a glass blob known as a gob or gather, thereby inflating it by blowing air into the blowpipe, whereas lampworking manipulates glass either by the use of tools, gravity, or by blowing directly into the end of a glass tube. After designing a piece, a lampworker must plan how to construct it. The glass is heated until molten, wound around a specially coated steel mandrel, forming the base. It can then be embellished or decorated using a variety of techniques and materials.
