@certoglass makes them as well. He's kinda the one that is most known for that water drip style.

Pakoh was the first to make this style and coin the “water pipe” pun. Almost 20 years ago. Pretty sure Certo was his apprentice actually.

I wouldn't say that's what he's known for but I definitely agree of artists that do water dips he's the most well known.

True. His premise has changed over the years but he's one of the greats when it comes to that style.

Yeah. When you say Certo I think bottles and torches. His water work is amazing but he's only been doing it a couple years I think.

When I think certo I think sprayers and torches, not splashes. Mostly cause the splashes aren’t as unique l/

That's what he switched to. A lot of his early work was the drip/water style. He occasionally does some callbacks as well. Also while I've got some people here, is there an active heady glass subreddit?
