Jason Christian Red Dragon - process narration by @gmanonfire

Jason Christian has been perfecting his design for blown glass dragons. In this video we see Jason making a Red Dragon, out of cane and solid color bar. The dragon will eventually be one of a set mounted on a wall display.
Jason has his own studio in Seattle, Washington, but today he is working at Area 253 Glass in Tacoma, Washington. He is assisted by Chris Stenzel, Randy Walker and Nick Clawson.
Check out jasonchristianglassdesigns.com to see more of this amazing artist's work.
Thanks to Ian Lewis Photography for sharing the still image of the dragon in it's stand.

i did exactly the same.

[@johnster02]

it’s a medium to do art unlike anything else. flexible but not messy or crumbly. hot and dangerous but controllable. how the art is never done, and always malleable if you just heat it back up again. “a piece he brought from Seattle and had it reheated and attached.” it’s one of these incredible things humans do. humans once had the idea to super heat sand and mold it into sculptures to sell. it’s just incredible really.
