Fire and Vine Hot Glass Live Stream with George Kennard

[@BennytheJohnson1]

I love how George makes multiple glass moves and puffs with each dose of heat to the main bubble. Well done team Corning!

It is great when the gaffer describes what he is doing/thinking and preparing for.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

It really is great to have that insight into the process. Thanks for watching!

Why don't I see the glass blowers wearing dydimium glasses?

[@cynvision]

If I recall there is a visor of it attached to the side of the heat shield in front of the reheating furnace. I've seen more torch work demos where glasses are used because they're right on the torch looking at it a lot. Are you asking more in the sense that you've heard the glasses are now a best practice in hot shops with any torch?

awesome george......corning should stick to the glass. More demo less curating

[@northwoods3d]

so you don't think they should preserve the history of glass? Isn't that what a museum is supposed to do? There is no reason that they can not do both - curate and demonstrate (which they do admirably, btw)
