Description:
The Blow More Glass Tools 8" Cup Shears are a specialty forming shear made with opposing cupped blades that cradle hot glass more gently than straight blades. The tool is built to let you pinch, guide, and refine thin, delicate sections without leaving the harsh crease marks you can get from standard jacks or straight shears.
In lampworking, these are most valuable when you are shaping cup-like forms and other delicate transitions where you want controlled pressure and a broader contact area. They are a go-to for refining rims, openings, and thin walls on small vessels and goblet-style work where the glass is hot, responsive, and easy to distort.
How it is used:
Heat the area you want to refine until it is evenly workable, then use the cupped blades to gently compress and guide the glass into shape. The cupped profile helps support the curve as you form, making it easier to keep openings round and walls even while you define the lip and shoulder areas on cups, goblets, and similar forms.
