Yes of course! In the past, glassblowing was a mandatory course in university-level chemistry. Chemist were expected to make their equipment. That need slowly disappeared as industrially made glassware became more available. The more complicated and specialized glassware (e.g. condensers) are still being made manually.
I've even seen some glassblowing kits for children in the 50s (all kinds of chemistry kits were popular back then).
If you have a torch and basic tools, you can do simple stuff yourself, like making ampoules from test tubes, sealing them, making bent tubes etc.

The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

I think I'm in love. A smart funny female glass artist? What's not to love. Let us declare nature to be legitimate. All plants should be declared legal, and all animals for that matter. The notion of illegal plants and animals is obnoxious and ridiculous.

Thank blue.magic, after all, it takes all senses !
What's better to learn something and make your own tools to deal with ?
It seems a very rewarding approach in case of a course.
