Chihuly does not blow glass since losing his depth perception when he lost his eye, because it is too dangerous. He has a team that executes his designs and creations while he guides them, as many artists have had throughout history.

[@alanatolstad4824]

I'd never heard of him until this last summer when on vacation & visiting the St.Louis botanical garden. Magnificent creations!

[@janiceaguilar3593]

Chihuly designs no need to toss any bars for him his team does this well for him

[@artist7998]

I've knew Dale since Pilchuck decades ago when he still had both eyes. He never grew his craft. Now days his work looks like something you would get from China's discounter Temu.

[@kathleenmckenna7399]

Ohmygoodnez 100% agree . But,bare you prepared for the Chihuly cult coming at you? 😂😅

[@DanielGarcia-os6qh]

Did Michael Angelo paint every item in the Sistine chapel himself? Ridiculous remark!

[@susanwills4723]

There is nothing I don’t like about glass art. The colours and textures make it so beautiful .it’s never boring. So many artists making stunning pieces. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@randalmayeux8880]

I wish my university had offered glass art when I was getting my BFA. About 20 years after I graduated they added it to the curriculum. I did learn stained glass thanks to my sister-in-law, who learned it in another university. I can do both leaded and copper foil methods. It's fun, and offers another opportunity for artistic expression in addition to my painting, printmaking and photography.

[@juliemarkham4332]

The glass dresses were so beautiful.

[@alanatolstad4824]

So hard to imagine what the process must be like! I've attended many Hot Shop sessions aboard the Celebrity cruises!

[@argusfleibeit1165]

Your section on L.C. Tiffany was 2/3 not his work. The many round hanging lamps are made with mosaics, and look a lot like the lamps traditionally made in the Middle East.

[@playingitagain5636]

I know... this really bothered me! How ignorant of the producer when it came to this particular section.

[@user-ge9px9fx4m]

I'm glad you pointed this out. I wish they would use greater care in their editing.

[@wkmphoto]

I noticed that also. In talking about Tiffany lamps, some of the video clips were not Tiffany lamps. I believe this is the fault of the producer and the video editor. They should’ve previewed to make sure the imagery is correct before putting it onto KZbin. I see a lot of sloppiness like this on KZbin on other subject matters also.

[@cs3742]

Went to a Chihuly exhibition a number of years ago. Not only were the individual objects gorgeous, the displays were artistically sensational. I really enjoyed watching the collaborative process of creating these objects.

[@CrystalKStearns]

We have one of the largest permanent installations of Chihuly glassware at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. It's amazing.

[@missg.5940]

Duly noted and added to my wish list of glass places to visit. Have some in San Antonio.

[@sherriboggs4497]

I love blown glass it takes talent skill and above all PATIENCE . I just made a comment about glass blowing because my grandfather was a glass blower I never met him he passed when my mom was just 7 she was the oldest of 4 but he was always talked of and so I feel like I know him -

[@tm13tube]

Can’t imagine how this is done but it is stunning. They are a national treasure.

[@galay7844]

Shagall's and Chihuli's creations are breathtaking. The rest are ok

[@tm13tube]

I’ve seen these glass figural forms at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia. It started with a collection of smallish Egyptian objects. Across the parking lot is a newer building devoted to glass, including exhibits of actual artists working.

[@user-lr6uf7px1t]

Why no mention of the giant fish???

[@nicsedge9400]

I’d say it is a fake image.

[@scottperine8027]

All of these exquisite artistries are testament to the fluidity of glass.

[@garymiller5937]

Most of these are quite gorgeous. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@kristinfrazee2097]

These are absolutely stunning my mind is blown I don't know anything about this art other than its beauty and I think I'm quite curious how number one became number one I think that the others were much more beautiful and unique than the Islamic mosque!!! The gentleman with the eyepatch three times on their his work is absolutely out of this world he to me is in a class all of its own!!!

[@gl15col]

I've see Jeff Chihuly's work IRL, it looks like it grew on a tree, or built by strange creatures at the bottom of the ocean Just gorgeous.

[@rikkemeek1506]

Dale

[@matthewhayes3142]

you've seen jeff's work? what kind of work does he do? there's jeff the janitor. however, if you're thinking jeff's work in glass work, you are completely off point. it's dale chihuly IRL

[@chandansikdar999]

Love from India 🇮🇳

[@allegg8804]

The Corning ware glass studios give you an idea of how long it takes to make just one piece and the number of people working You came find vids on You Tube.

[@sohinisen3125]

Beautiful pieces of art

[@Hiiizenburg42]

I live in Tacoma Washington and that's were Chihuly is from and there are many of his great creations scattered throughout the city including his own Museum. From Hotels to Highschools and Restaurants you'll come across breathing taking pieces

[@sallyannchappell5671]

I have three words in mind…wow, wow,wow. Or is that one word three times?

[@warrencarther1706]

The eight heads of Harvey Littleton were not made by Harvey Littleton. Harvey Littleton was the subject, but the work was conceived and created by Erwin Eisch a German glass artist.

[@alanatolstad4824]

This was a totally awesome presentation.

[@DawnDavidson]

Stunning presentation. Thank you for this study of so many wonderful glass artists.

[@KK-eh2gm]

You got Dale Chihuly here 3 times & he should be #1. You forgot to describe the courses, apprenticeship work & international training that Dale has provided as well as his experimental works that far exceed the works shown here.

[@sallyannchappell5671]

This is a list of glass creations and not artists. That’s why he’s there three times, his three art pieces made the top 15. I think that’s how it goes.

[@KBish]

To start I want you to know that I agree with you totally. I’ve known of Chihuly for years and loved his work for just as long. I am thinking that to make the mosque number 1 after hilighting Chihuly three times is a little like a slap in the face. Regardless, that was some beautiful work!

[@lorettademaio4334]

Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@ZebbMassiv]

Chihuly I would classify more as a glass team maestro with high demands in a tightrope like time-frame with a splash of madness.

[@Tatyana_2373]

Wow beautiful

[@topfives]

Thank you! Cheers!

Kaun-kaun India se pyar Karta Hai 🇮🇳

[@robynmeyer7796]

Nice!

[@suzannebauer6234]

There is a lot of Chihuly at Missouri Botanical Garden as well

[@jeanadamsick9854]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@clarefriend1376]

commercials are getting ridiculous..

[@laverite1050]

William Morris is the best glass blower of all time. Hands down.

[@geekdivaherself]

Did the picture on the thumbnail appear anywhere? I didn't see it. That seems like an impossible method of creating such a piece of such scale.

[@moxietwain6616]

I was wondering the same exact thing! I find that to be deceptive.

[@IHGChick]

When you introduced Tiffany you tossed in some commercial turkish style hanging lamps several times - those are NOT Tiffany. Keep it real.

[@aartmark]

I was wondering if anyone would point that out. Thank you.

[@playingitagain5636]

This really made me angry!

[@edgeplay4205]

No Bertil Vallien ?

[@nunyabiznez666]

OooOoOOoO ppuurrrdddyyy!!!! ❤ I tried working with glass once.... 💩 was hard 😂

Click bait image.

[@Kingman_Arts]

It’s tragic you put one person on 3 times while omitting Loren Stump.

[@HearTruth]

Sands of the Sea ( stars of the sky) glass silicon .

[@greenspiritarts]

Some inspiring work here but a lot more is out there to be discovered. Many of the pieces that were shown as Tiffany, were not. I’ve enjoyed watching the series called Blown Away over on the rival platform that begins with N ….. getting to watch how it’s made is fascinating and how many times pieces break is staggering. These artists have such dedication but they are almost always working with extremely talented teams yet only one name gets the credit. Seems a bit unfair. But seeing how it’s done is mesmerizing…..It’s like a dance watching them work together to make this art. I was disappointed that the thumbnail was clickbait….was really curious to see that!

[@traceykellogg2046]

You talk about Dante Marioni and completely left out his contemporary, Preston Singletary, who is equally talented.

[@doublewides]

Anything from Chihuly should be credited as Chihuly Studios work since I don’t think he actually participates in the creation of any of it. Just my opinion and I’m sure others will disagree

[@weird-history-and-odd-news]

As a retired glass artist, I was hoping to see particular artists whose work has been the inspiration to most of the ones you showcased. The Chihuly works are brilliant, but could have been just one segment. Paul Stankard - the botanicals shown are not representative of his best work. Harvey Littleton doesn't fall under the "incredible" label, his casting techniques are flawed and although he was one of founders of the studio glass movement in the US, his work is not extraordinary. I'm glad you included Dante Marioni and Lino Tagliapietra. I was hoping to see Ann Robinson from New Zealand, I studied under her at Pilchuk. Also Ginny Ruffner of Seattle and Robert Mickelsen of Florida who I also studied under. Then Mel Munsen of Victoria BC, Canada who recently passed away, Irene Froelich of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, William Morris of Washington state, Bob Leatherbarrow in Canada, and instead of Littleton, the two masters of cast glass perfection, René Lalique and Jean Daum, both of France, whose work was inspirational for Karen La Monte. In the Tiffany segment his name was misspelled, it's Louis Comfort Tiffany, and there was a script error: "Notable exceptions include..." they were not exceptions. And lamps were only one aspect of his work ... his huge complex windows and his iconic designs for Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural designs weren't even mentioned, nor was his jewellery. Those could have replaced all the little hanging lights, which pale against his other work. I was disappointed with this video, sorry, it was too much like the opinion of one person with extremely limited knowledge of the art glass world and the artists within. I hope the other names I mentioned will encourage viewers to seek out their works.

[@weird-history-and-odd-news]

@@geekdivaherself You're right. That's why I clicked on it, too. Photoshop bait.

[@mimamarosa8]

In the section that features Tiffany lamps, you have mixed in Turkish mosaic lamps, which really cheapens the Tiffany displays!! (10:52 and 11:50) Louis Comfort Tiffany lamps are a million times better than the Turkish mosaic lamps!! Anybody that does crafts can make the mosaic lamps, but NOT the Tiffany lamps!!

[@MrJohnblaine]

I just found my art love. Thank you 💙💚💛🧡🩷

[@carrie.e.]

Did anyone else ride a big wheel when you didn't fit into it anymore and race down a big hill?

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

Is the clickbait thumbnail your own design when you were busy with your right hand on the sofa having a chihuli

[@artist7998]

All of these craftsman are at the top of the game pusing their craft to the limits, but Art? not really.

[@moxietwain6616]

I find it deceptive to show an art piece in your thumbnail and not discuss it, show it, or mention it in your content. Bad form.

[@denisestover2416]

Everything was beautiful except the Islamic art. It should have been last.

[@cherylklaver7233]

Disagree...the intricate design over 600 years old earns its place.

I've learned from Minecraft if you want to make a glass, you need a sand and melt it with coal. Is that how to create a sand irl too? Is that so, i'm very proud to learn it from a videogame. 🌏🌍🌎🌃🏖🏜🔥🏠💻📱🚐🎮

[@novelettephillips6153]

Is it the refined sand ,and chalk coal??
