Like a fume from some uncharted, spectral vent, the Spirit of Samhain flows strong through GRAV’s veins. The halls of our hotshop are haunted by the unfortunate souls of Graviteers who fell into the kiln and were forgotten. Our werehouse is crawling with glass goblins, eager to knock over shelves and feast on the shards of shattered pipes. And few of us can sleep without the lights on these days, after seeing the Flaming Forklift weaving through walls, operated by the many-bearded ghost of Glassblower Greg.
In this season of calamity and horror, it’s important to be vigilant against the various curses that might beset a GRAV enthusiast. We’ve outlined a few here, but feel free to share your own in the Comments section below.

If you say Cheech and Chong into a mirror three times on Halloween, you will become them…
