The equipment for glass making included the following
furnaces
benches
crucibles
tongs
blowpipes
pontils (steel rods the glass can be transferred to after it is blown)
marvers (flat steel surfaces)
seers (I cannot explain what this is, the name is in a list without discussion)
blocks
jacks
paddles
tweezers
paper
shears
I have attached a link to the Wikiepdia article on glassblowing below.

Glass was certainly created in the medieval period, but it was definitely not invented then. The ancient Egyptians made a type of glass (faience) and the Romans got glass-making techniques from the Hellenistic culture. At the fall of the Roman Empire the manufacture of glass ceased in most of Europe, only to start again during the 12th century (in the middle ages).

We use glass because so we can make equipment. Life would be a little different without glass.
The materials needed for a stained glass activity include glass pieces, copper foil, soldering iron, solder, glass cutter, and safety goggles.
Silica, or silicon dioxide, is the mineral used to make glass and electronic equipment. It is a key component in producing products such as glass windows, computer chips, and optical fibers.
