I've only just started researching this really, but an idea sprouted to have a character who can blow glass (on a very small scale). Has this been done before?
Things I've considered:
1 - they'd need a wagon or something to lug all their stuff around in, probably..
2 - making glass from raw materials or melting it at all would need a hellofalot of heat, not sure how that would be achieved (I know they used to use bellows and a furnace but idk where a furnace would come from xD)
3 - finding raw materials, if it IS possible.. I know they could find sand, but lime/soda?
Or would it just be totally unrealistic and they should just trade what's already made and out there (if there's much glass out there?! I imagine it'd have a pretty high price)? No worries if it wouldn't work at all, I can think of something else, just wondered how realistic it is :3
Thanks!
