Footed Bowl with filigrana

This footed bowl is made with many techniques: filigrana, edge wraps, a merese, canes oriented in two directions, and nipt-diamond-waies. Learn more about this object in The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking by William Gudenrath renvenetian.cmog.org/object/fo...
The Venetian glass industry enjoyed a golden age during the Renaissance. By the early 1500s, the wonders of Venetian glass were well known throughout western Europe. Not well known, however, was how these objects were made. Until now. The result of 30+ years of research by William Gudenrath, The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking - renvenetian.cmog.org - presents 35 complete reconstructions of Venetian glassmaking techniques through detailed 360˚ photography and high-definition video.

This man's smile at the beginning was so cute! He obviously loves what he does, and his artistry is just mesmerizing. The explanations are great. Love these videos!

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching!

[@MsJerkinbabe]

Cindaren I saw the smile and it was really heart warming (: he seem like he enjoyes his job a lot! (:

[@joshschneider9766]

he is Bill Gudenrath, resident artist at corning museum of glass, exceptionally skilled solo blower, and detective of technical processes. he will create fifteen or twenty pieces by himself or with maybe one or two assistants, in order to puzzle out what he believes is the process used to create the original. and hes done so for decades now. hes really a treasure both as an investigator and a teacher, and hes also an incredibly skilled helicopter pilot, and if he really likes you, he will play piano for you cuz hes awesome at that too.

[@MegaMesozoic]

Wonderful work!

[@lisamaynard9304]

This guy is one of, if not the best glass artisans I've yet to see! Every one of his pieces are flawless and he makes it look so easy. Like anyone could do it, which truth is, not many people can and especially at such a high skill level. This man's passion for the art comes through in each one of his pieces.

[@LaynieFingers]

I know almost nothing about blowing glass. What I do know is that he makes it look effortless. I've been binge watching these videos tonight, and all I can say is this: magic is real. This guy can take sand and turn it into such breathtakingly beautiful pieces... that's magic, all right!

[@heavenlymilano]

With all due respect to all those artists who makes skulls and sculptures, this guy is their MASTER. He is the best.

[@vinny_b0o]

Lisa Maynard I couldnt say it better

[@marianofolin]

Lisa Maynard you all should come in Venice Murano island which is tho mother of this technique since the thirteen century (1291) and where you can seestill many masters able to do the same and more. I think this master spent a lot of time in Murano or with a good Murano Master.

[@lisamaynard9304]

@@marianofolin I would love to!!

[@bubblemum]

Please put another view of the finished piece of art at the end of the videos, so we can see it with new, educated eyes and realized ow much was done to make it look that way

[@jimmythepowerful]

NO

[@ScottVSpiroIII]

Watching this master has shaped my appreciation for the art.

What a beautiful bowl, Bill! And how nice to see a film with the sbrufetto-technique.

I wish I had seen this before going to Murano. The artistry is breathtaking.

Cool! 10 year lampworker here! Always fun to watch! 😎

[@talllanky1]

wish he would show final piece. like after its cooled

[@corningmuseumofglass]

+Shawn Girard The original piece is shown at the beginning of the video - 0:03, and also in the online resource at renvenetian.cmog.org/object/footed-bowl-filigrana Check it out and thanks for watching!

When I started the video, that part was cut off, but after reading your reply, I was able to pull up the image!---Whew!

[@alicecostalodge3555]

Exceptional art and beauty.

[@Teth47]

It's funny how easy this guy makes it look. I've worked with molten glass, it is a tricky mistress. Amazing work.

[@subbiahv4519]

Could you show the finished product at the end of the video? I've watched quite a few of these, and you always end the video rather abruptly

[@kit2130]

Subbiah V I’d hate to be in a relationship with him. I can only imagine what his sex life is like.

[@Higolmon]

Subbiah calm down I see what they are doing they show the finish product first then show how they make it

@PetiteSirène Hannaé-Elisabeth - Get over yourself. Good grief, the virtue signaling that you just vomited was next level crazy. Cat lady crazy, TDS level crazy, even crazy by the standards of those nutters with a liberal arts degree.

Wanderful Art !!!!!

[@mkivy]

TBYA....I would love this endeavor. Oh well I will just be content watching the masters.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Hi Mike, you'd be surprised with how many public access studios they are around the world! If you're interested in learning how to make glass, I'd recommend checking out this list from the Glass Art Society to see if there's a studio near you: www.glassart.org/resources/in-the-community/public-access-studios/. Thanks for watching!

[@joshschneider9766]

i wonder if Bill would accept a commission for a tri color version of this. would make a magnificent dining table center piece.

[@paulkumar1698]

so beautiful

[@anxiousdog]

the process is amazing, it almost hypnotic. watching the video makes me relax. did he just mess up the diamond pattern at 6:02?

[@corinneconnellan7704]

Yes. If that were me I'd have to start again lol

[@gittehansen5951]

I wanna see how it turned out. Great work.

I would like to see the finished product.. but you cut if off with no ending. The glass is beautiful but not seeing the finished product is a let down.

So beautiful o how I wish I could

[@nickc2708]

I would get angry and break shit if even tried one step of this crazy creativeness

[@dianneadair1132]

I wish in these videos it would show how the rod is removed from the finished piece from within the foot without breaking the glass.

[@emilylemons5349]

The narrator sounds like Jim Parsons. I love it

That is what I call a "I'll have only one drink" cup size lol

You can actually take glassmaking classes with Bill Gudenrath here at The Studio: www.cmog.org/glassmaking/studio/classes! Thanks for watching, Linda.

[@janhavi9320]

is it possible to over inflate the bubble?...in that case would it break?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Yes, and yes. If it's over inflated, the glass will most likely cool too quickly and break.

[@yanelihernandez415]

muy ermoso esta padre 😨😱👌

[@lynetteclauser3551]

This was much more enjoyable to watch than the two hour marathon ones. I get that they are more complicated items but a lot of it could be edited out. Like real time waiting for the glass to reheat.

[@gabrielstall3563]

what is the difference between Filigrana and Reticello, the two have very similar processes. So what is the difference specifically?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Filigrana is the generic name for blown glass made with colorless, white, and sometimes colored canes, while reticello is a type of blown glass made with canes organized in a crisscross pattern to form a fine net, which contains tiny air traps (bubbles). Reticello is a type of filigrana - specifically colorless and white canes that are organized in a crisscross pattern with the bubbles.

The end product is shown at the start. I wasn't expecting it to be that big, he called it both a bowl and a cup, either way it's a good size for my booze 🤣

[@hopeweiss9549]

he scares the shit outta me sometimes with the t-shirt and shorts sometimes the angle makes it look like he's about to get burned

[@Kittymouth]

Hope Weiss, I always get nervous because no one is wearing gloves at all. I guess you learn not to touch the metal pipes too close to the glass!

[@belacickekl7579]

@@Kittymouth Probably a bit late on this one, but gloves impair your ability to detect whether something is really hot before grabbing on to them, and just generally make you clumsy

Omg you didn’t show the finished product?????!!!!!!!!!!! Wow dude.

He showed it at the beginning, dude

I want to know what they do with all the waste glass.

[@maddog9391]

Liza Hunt they usually reuse it depending on what color. And other factors

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Hi Liza, colorless glass is remelted in the furnace to be reused. Colored glass is recycled through third-party vendors. Thanks for watching!

The image shown in the beginning is in fact NOT the piece being crafted in the video. It's the original pierce on which their basing their recreation. So we are indeed not being shown the finished piece, shame. I bet you could get some beautiful stills out of it from several angles...
