Shape it, then cool it slowly — Glassmakers · The Makers
Master Rowan shows a vase being made at the Embergate furnace. The Makers of Our World game on MyLeoNes for ages 7–17; invented stories, crafts learned safely.
Your task
Order the steps of shaping and cooling.
- Glassmakers blow and press hot glass. Cooling it slowly stops it from cracking.
- Invented guild stories to learn from. Never try fire, hot metal, glass, blades or power tools on your own: crafts like these are learned with a trained adult.
- Every craft came from many people in many places. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- Craft knowledge — You understood how this craft works.
- Making it well — You put the steps in a sensible order and used the right tools.
- Care for people & planet — You kept people safe and used materials wisely.
In real life
Glassblowing has been done for about two thousand years, and glass is slowly cooled in a special oven called a lehr or annealer.

The guild stories are invented, to learn from. Fire, heat, blades and tools are only for trained adults: learn these crafts with a trained adult, never at home. Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
