Glassblowing - Low Bowl Technique - Hot Shop ASMR

Freehand Glass blowing. Making one of the hardest shapes-a shallow bowl. This is a 2-gather bowl with a crackled surface decoration. Making this shape uses of the Parchoffis, or wooden Jacks. The blades are soaked in water and charred so that they softly shape the profile of the bowl. This bowl was made solo, but typically these shapes are done with an assistant holding a wooden paddle on the rim or the base to keep everything straight. Working solo definitely increased the difficulty of an already hard shape; I don't necessarily recommend this method other than for practice (which is what this was for me).
This is the non-talking, ASMR version.

Thanks, you too!

[@InFltSvc]

Stunning bowl! Just beautiful…I would love to have one. I was surprised to see that you can dunk such hot glass in water without an explosion…

[@davinebanks]

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, explosions can happen if the glass is too cold and too thin... or if you stay in the water too long. Timing is critical.

Really enjoying your videos. A former student of yours turned me on to them.

[@davinebanks]

Glad you like them!

[@trivu884]

do you think you can do a goblet demo?? That’s my goal for the semester

[@davinebanks]

I will try. Goblets, as you know, are tricky. There are lots of parts (and skills) that go into them. I'll try to work up on it, breaking down the individual parts-bell, avolio, stem, foot, punty, etc. Might make for a good series! Thanks for the request.
