Scientific glassblowing and laboratory-glass tutor

Alicia Baptiste

Laboratory glass works when heat, geometry, material behavior, stress, and safe process control are understood together.

Personal introduction

A note from Alicia

Hi, I'm Alicia. I teach scientific glass through borosilicate behavior, heat, annealing, tubing, joints, apparatus geometry, burner and lathe concepts, inspection, and repair assessment.

About Alicia

Alicia helps learners understand why laboratory glass succeeds or fails before they enter a hot shop. Her lessons connect composition, heat zones, wall thickness, symmetry, joining, annealing, residual stress, apparatus function, inspection, repair decisions, and technical communication.

Alicia's lessons focus on Scientific glassblowing, borosilicate properties, thermal expansion, heat zones, annealing, residual stress, tubing and joints, apparatus geometry, burner and lathe concepts, seals, vacuum-glass literacy, inspection, repair assessment, and technical drawing. Sessions are designed for materials, chemistry, laboratory, craft, engineering, and independent learners studying how scientific glass apparatus is designed and made and usually use heat-and-stress diagrams, joint geometry, apparatus sketches, process sequencing, defect identification, annealing curves, inspection checklists, and supervised-shop planning.

Alicia teaches scientific glass through borosilicate behavior, heat, annealing, tubing, joints, apparatus geometry, burner and lathe concepts, inspection, and repair assessment. The teaching approach combines heat-and-stress visuals, geometry before flame, defect-aware critique, process sequence mapping, and strict shop-safety boundaries.

A useful place to begin: Show me the apparatus shape, glass-behavior concept, joint, or defect you are studying. We will map the geometry, heat, stress, and safe shop questions.
