The co-founders at Montreal's High Art let us in on some of the central steps in creating their signature hand-thrown bongs.

And seriously, the bongs crafted in Montreal's High Art studio would be at home on a shelf with your most prized possessions — take a look at their Montreal Painters series, a set of collaborations with local artists (you can see a few examples below).

Of course, we wouldn't ask founders Kristian North and Richard Lawson to let us in on all of the secrets of creating one of their glazed and painted vessels. But in this video by Jorge Camarotti, they share the basic steps that you must follow to make your own bong.

Have fun! Be safe! And follow High Art here.
