I’m still learning this program so I decided to challenge myself by recreating this air twist glass. The glass blower introduced swirling columns of air in the stems, which gives the glass its name. (I have a whole set of these that I discovered in an antique store years ago.)

The tricky part was making the air twist smaller as it approaches the bottom of the stem.
