There he is ❤

I’ve been. To Corning , a couple time . Love it there. They make beautiful stuff

Beep beep booooop BAHHHHH BIP

The lady in red has her barn door open!!

Puffing with the Smith torch is brilliant.

Southern Oregon misses and loves Banjo!! And Chris! And the flock! So glad to see the mastery of mystery in action!

love glass art. i wish there were more shows like Blown Away (and more seasons of it), which is where i found out about Corning Museum of Glass

Am I just now realizing he looks like Josh Brolin? Specifically from Thrashin?!

Hell yes! Been struggling to find places to learn about glassblowing, these videos are fascinating and we get to see the man himself!

Love it, always a pleasure to see Banjo work!

the Master himself

First

It’s just wild you can make that beautiful of piece in less than 8 minutes. Awesome.

What was the temp they should be kept at again???

5:04 random thought but that would make a cute tip to a stir stick to go with the beaker

anyone who makes these pipes knows what they are used for & the substance that is put in these pipes destroyes everything that abuses this substance, & i do not have to name this garbage because this substance comes straight out of the pit of hell & anyone who enables someone to abuse this substance is straight out of the pit of hell just like the substance is & i pray that GOD will deliver those who seek his redemption from their life binding sins.

Maravilhoso trabalho, impecável, gostaria muito de ver aquela borboleta de asas abertas ❤

Red colour in glass isnt that nano particels of gold? And does that add to the diffeculty

8:29 - it does not "cool FASTER", as such - I'd say the main difference here is its "curve of plasticity", so to speak - i.e. how fast goes its transition from "kinda softened" to "quite plastic" to "runny" with rising temperature. My guess is, this soda-lime glass used for making jars and bottles in moulds is formulated to be a "short" glass - i.e. one for which the abovementioned transition is "fast" - that is it occurs in narrower range of temperatures. So if we use such "narrow range" (or "short") glass formula, as soon as that rather massive METAL mould (which is a good heat sink, being a big mass made of good heat conductor) cools this "quite plastic phase" glass below its plasticity point, the bottle "stays on its own" (i.e. does not collapse) when the mould is open. So while that metal mould does indeed help to cool the glass faster, the narrower thermal range of transition of the glass used also plays an important role here. When I did my "lab glass blowing" classes (a "primer", rather) back in my sec school the difference between behaviour of soda-lime glass and potassium-lime glass was huge - you keep the former one tad too long inside the gas blow-torch flame and it all started to sag on you like a crazy (or even to flow - like that glass at 7:30), and if you let it cool tad too much (means, you weren't working it fast enough) it quickly stiffened to the point where it wasn't workable any longer - while potassium one was much more "accommodating" or "forgiving". And then there's this borosilicate glass variety (the most common type of glass used for chemistry lab wares) but I don't really remember whether we used it at all for our exercises (which took place over forty years ago) so I won't be saying anything about it - although my guess is it was even "better" (or "longer") than potassium-lime one.

Lucky i didnt watch the whole thing before checking the end after hearing the introduction. EVERYTHING WOKE TURNS TO SHIT😂

How much do the people that make glass designs money can you make?

Incredible beauty, beads and person. The ancient Granite beads are mindblowing, thank you so much for sharing those with us. The first factory ever found in the archaeological record is a glass making factory, some 8000 yrs old I think I remember, it is in Romania or Hungary. beads last a long time in the ground, I watched a doco about an South East Asian Country that had been a hub for trade in the area, people could go dig in their gardens, practically and find beads. To me there is a real joy in beads, they are so beautiful, natural gems made into beads are wonderful but a glass bead has all the creativity of a person in it.

Is there going to be a mane and tail??

We don’t see George anymore. Is he still with CMOG

I am having trouble with proportions, how does one determine where to put the jack line on a roman foot? How do you determine the length needed to make the folded lip on the bowl?

I just happened on this video, and could not tear myself away from it. Toots, I love your approach to understanding how the material behaves, then using that, mingled with your own sense of beauty, to produce new works. My own definition of art includes that it must always be an adventure of exploration and discovery. I come away more impressed with your mind, your thoughtfulness, your creativity, than ever. And when I started watching this, I didn't think that would be possible.

This will probably get buried, but I just want to say thank you, Will. I began taking glassblowing classes at a local shop a few years ago and greatly enjoyed it. I've been taking classes / working in the shop casually, usually with friends, but this weekend after watching your videos for a while I took the step to devote time to explore solo work in using a blow hose to control shapes, and solo transfer. I'm definitely still learning, both as a glass artist and a solo artist, but your short videos and longer studio demonstrations have been a great inspiration to me.

Narrator, there is such thing as TMI… took away from artists

perfect

The artists were fantastic. I loved the information they shared. That being said, I was underwhelmed by the video's actual production and the person leading the lecture, who was hard to hear half the time. It's really too bad that it was so weak as far as production.

george vs the acid ball 👏great piece

Awesome Davide!

How would one display such art?

ولدي سيره ذاتيه شغل القزاز

Worst transfer I’ve ever seen.

Unbelievable skills. Amazing art.. capacity.. control... focuss... handling...timing.. touches... Brilliant. Thank you.

Ty sir

Beautiful works of art ❤❤❤❤❤❤

That's great

I coud listen all day long, dear Bill! ❤
