Description:
This dragon tail is a specialized hand tool used for shaping and texturing hot glass at the torch. It is constructed with a long, tapered handle and a flattened, slightly curved working end that resembles a tail, allowing you to apply pressure and create definition across larger surface areas. The tool is designed to shape molten glass without sticking, smooth transitions, create decorative marks or patterns, and refine form while the glass is at working temperature. It is especially useful for larger pieces where you need broader control than a pointed tool provides.
How it is used:
Use the dragon tail when the glass is soft and workable to flatten areas, create textured surfaces, smooth transitions between sections, and define edges or contours. The broad, tapered end allows you to apply controlled pressure across a wider zone, making it efficient for shaping larger gathers and hollow forms. You can also use it to create intentional surface texture by dragging or pressing it into the hot glass for decorative effect. This tool is particularly helpful in production work and sculptural pieces where you want to move material and refine form quickly without multiple tool changes.
