Amethyst Color Wheel: Glassblowers Michael Schunke + Josie Gluck Craft a Large Blown Glass Rondel

Michael Schunke and Josie Gluck, glassblowers and co-founders of Vetro Vero Glassblowing Studio, demonstrate their hot glass process to craft a handblown disc sculpture. The video begins at the fourth strip-gather (application of hot glass from the furnace), and through seamless teamwork, the glassblowers heat, blow, marver and trim the bubble before applying a roller-wrap (!) and innovative gold-leaf center. Key moments and techniques are replayed in slow motion for glassmakers. The final sculpture will be custom-fit to a handcrafted metal stand for luxe home decor.
Distinguished by remarkable clarity, spectacular colors, and exquisite craftsmanship, Vetro Vero (Italian: “True Glass”) is the award-winning design studio of glassmakers Michael Schunke and Josie Gluck. With over 40 years of combined experience, Schunke and Gluck merge expert knowledge, keen intuition and obsessive finesse to inform the Vetro Vero design sensibility. Founded to deliver harmony to contemporary lifestyles through form and color, Vetro Vero preserves and refines the meaning of excellence in contemporary Craft. www.vetrovero.com/
