“When I got back (to Odessa),” he said,“I started
practicing.. The first things I did were so small you
could hardly tell what they were. They were really
crude, but the longer youy work, the better you get. ”
Today, examples of his “art” work abound in glass
showcases and on shelves and attest to the skill he has
developed over more than 15 years.
To demonstrate the art of glass blowing, Pyle picked
up a piece of glass tubing about 1% inches in diameter,
cut it off to the required length, heated and sealed each
end, then extruded a slim, hollow “handle” on each
end. He heated the glass with a multi-tipped torch until
it glowed red, then began blowing and shaping the
glass. It took the better part of an hour-and-a-half to
shape the head and body, then prepare tubes that would
be added for legs.
When he was ready to add the legs, he placed the
underside of the elephant in the flame, heating only a
small spot on the belly. He placed the tube to his lips,
blew until the heated spot bubbled up, then broke it off.
'Heating the same spot again until it glowed red, Pyle
picked up a graphite tool and shaped the body hole until
it was the approximate size of the tube that would

ODESSA—Walking into Joe Pyle’s West Odessa Lab
Glass Blowing shop, one might think he had stumbled
into a machine shop.
But a quick look around reveals a stock of glass tubes
and rods of varying sizes and types. Shelves and tables
hold glass containers of every size and description.
Most of the containers would be familiar to anyone who
has ever been in or seen a chemical or testing lab-
voratory, replete with odd shaped glass containers,
tubing and distilling devices.
Nearly all will be the handiwork of a glass craftsman,
or a glass blower, if you prefer. Working with glass is
Lan art of several dimensions and one need only watch
Pyle, 52, to realize that the things that can be done with
glass are limited only by the imagination.
While blowing is usually required to shape heated
glass, much of the shaping is done on lathes not unlike
those used by machinists shaping metal. But while a
machinist uses various metal tools to cut and shape
cold metal, a glass craftsman, such as Pyle, uses
graphite rods and graphite-coated tools to work molten
glass into desired shapes.
“Molten glass can only be worked with graphite tools
because uncoated metal sticks to the superheated
glass,” Pyle explains.
Pyle first became interested in moving beyond the
creation of glass vessels for laboratory work after he’d
been doing it for about two years and attended a sym-
posium in Denver, where glass blowers dispdlayed
