Jen Violette Guest Artist Demonstration (August 9, 2018)

Watch Jen craft a large cactus out of glass in the Amphitheater Hot Shop.
See the final piece starting at 2:29:14.
The Guest Artist Series features world-class visiting artists at work in the Amphitheater Hot Shop. These special, extended demonstrations provide a fascinating peek at the techniques, artistry, and improvisation that comprise contemporary glassmaking. Our own Hot Glass Demo Team assists and narrates for each artist, answering audience questions in real time. Learn more at www.cmog.org/programs/guest-a....
Jen Violette began creating in early childhood, inspired by her grandparents who were studio artists themselves. Now Violette lives on a small farm in Vermont and is inspired by the natural land. Much of her work focuses on her own vegetable and perennial gardens...www.cmog.org/bio/jen-violette

The announcer.

[@minahraven1190]

Same, I love the commentary tbh. He reminds me of the Bob Ross of glassmaking - calm, warm, friendly, little bit of humor, but still showing enthusiasm without going over the top.

[@stevengandt1507]

Yes. Very soothing.

[@rebeccafrogel647]

probably disliked while they were asleep lol

[@Near2Future]

@@rebeccafrogel647 true, they prob were watching while staring at their phone. Then it dropped on their face & disliked the video with their nose! , they just never seen it!

[@cmmc3400]

I am subscribed to this because I have always loved this art and these artists are top in their class. I know how I ended up here but, since the first video I have watched from this channel I was diagnosed with a very rare medical condition called Erythromelalgia. My skin turns red hot and is very painful. A new area developing feels like being beat with a hot cactus. So, irony or destiny, one reminding me of my condition and the other states a clear path for the rest of my life. That is why I landed here. Choices. I collected glass art as a child, the whole collection destroyed at age 15 and the life long desire to make beautiful things such as these and knowing I will never be able to make these beautiful pieces of art because I have to stay in an environment of steady 65 degrees, makes it a sad history for me. However, I have made beautiful pieces of art with glass beads, lampworks from Venice, stone and sand from Africa, Bizantium and all the while honoring the history by teaching those who bought my art. I have a collection dating back to early Egyptian glass work and Native American bone and stone beads. So......happy, sad, dreaming, resigning, reminiscing, and now here enjoying. Peace.

[@tlep2979]

Hey, I DIDN'T wake up to this. I feel special.

[@thebeakeddoctor]

I’ve woken up to this many times, this is the first time I’ve chosen to watch it and I do not regret

[@MariW736]

Omg this is amaaaaaazing background tv to put on while I’m working. I totally love the narrators voice and how chill everyone is. This came on as an accident, and now I’m two hours into it and don’t want to switch, LOL. Just now, I thought that I was tired of this, and was going to make the motion to click away and find some thing else, but then I instantly felt sad and realized, I didn’t want to leave the group. 😂 I don’t understand why I’m so invested in this now, but I totally am 😅💗

[@scarlettsykes7770]

This is the most beautiful Cactus I've ever seen. What a nice piece of work. W O W

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching!

[@mjb12141963]

it's seems to me that the cooling glass shrinks and hardens on the outside where the inside cooling slower does not shrink at the same rate creating pressure on the outer layer of the glass that in a thinner layer would easily crack from the pressure. Always love to see these videos. If this cactus is the one I think it is, it does not have thorns but what at first seem to be little white brush like pods that you later find you have almost invisible splinters multiplied only by the number of times you, as my stepmother said when I was young "look at the little brushes".

[@KJ6EAD]

I still wonder why they never cleaned up the overlap area of the wrap and shaped it like in the drawing. I also don't understand why in the final display view in the video the lighting and background were too dark to see the color or any details of the pot unless there was some significant defect being hidden.

[@nineteen-sixty-nine9373]

This might be common question,How do they manage to get a camera in the glory hole within the intense heat?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Hi, the camera is behind the furnace. There's a window of fused silica, which melts at a much higher temperature than we set our furnaces to, and the camera peeks through that window. Learn more here: blog.cmog.org/2016/12/12/the-view-from-inside-the-furnace/. Thanks for watching!
