Ben's Lens: An Interview With Justin 'BBQ Glass' Hagwood
"Justin is offering some of the best borosilicate cups you can find for under $100. He also makes great tools for glass artists such as his BBQ Tong Grabbers. They're one of my favorite tools!" - Ben Belgrad
Justin Hagwood aka BBQ Glass
Blowing Glass Since 2010
Started Working with Glass:
"I started working with glass 6 months after getting hired at Mountain Glass Arts. I always had an interest in glass art, mostly hot shop work, but had a great opportunity to try lampworking. They helped me get my first studio so I could work in my home studio. By learning lampworking, I gained product knowledge that I was able to pass along to customers and to MGA staff."
