Lampworking / Flameworking - 102.02 - 3 Festive Canes - 104 glass Demo

Hello Everyone! 🌹🌹🌹 With the holidays literally right around the corner I thought it would be fun to continuing exploring the Finial shape (from last demo) by making it into a Unique Holiday Ornament. 😁💫 But before I can do that I need to make some cane…and it is going to take me several hours to do! These three canes are all different varieties of Zanfirico Cane. Using Filigrana Veiled Cane and Goldstone stringer, these festive canes will be the perfect touch on this year’s Holiday Ornament! 🥰💫Whether simple or complex, Pulling your own Cane can be extremely satisfying and rewarding! ✨✨✨🌹 I’m so happy to be able to share 3 of my favorite Zanfirico Cane designs with you all today!
Stay tuned for next week to see the finished piece!🥰🌹
Thank you all so much for watching and enjoying!!
Happy Holidays!! - Robin🌲✨

The goldstone really shines in these canes, I like the clear canes the best. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them next week. All the best Robin 😊❤

[@scottwoodresearch]

Hi Jirup! 👋🏽😃 Thanks so much! I was really pleased with the gold in these! It does dilute out a bit in the finished piece but I think you will like the way it turned out! 🤗 Hugs to you! Robin🎄💫🌹🌹

[@scottwoodresearch]

Hi Linda! 🤗✨ I’m so glad you like these! I love making cane too!! 🌹 Hope you are doing well. Happy Holidays!! - Robin 😃🌹✨✨✨

[@greenspace3279]

That looks amazing! It may sound like a simple question, but how do you clean off your metal punties after they’re done pulling the cane? I’ve seen you use metal in a couple videos, and was curious if you were able to keep the glass from fusing to the mandrel or if you just cut the tip off.

[@scottwoodresearch]

Hello Green! 😃👋🏽 Thank you!!! 🥰 Every time I am done using the metal puntys there are several different ways to clean off the glass… I dip them in the water to get the glass to start cracking …sometimes it will pop right off. Most times I have to use a pliers to ‘bite’ or crush the glass off after it cools ….or striking the glass with a knife on its edge, aiming towards the rubbish bin. …or reheat the glass and dip in water repeatedly. You want to be careful though…putting the glass in the flame can cause it to shatter in the air! So make sure the glass is positioned away from you when you do this. 🌹 Sometimes I have used all of these methods on one punty! 😂 …Whatever it takes!!! 😆✨✨✨ Glad you asked! ✨💫 Cheers- Robin 🌹✨🌹

[@MelissaOsten]

Would you share where you get the goldstone chunk? I can’t seem to find it any more 😢

[@scottwoodresearch]

Hi Melissa! 🌹✨ I have been using the same goldstone rock for years!😂 However, I know that some of the glass sellers like Frantz Art Glass, sell goldstone frit that you can build up into a big piece. I like to buy the big chunks….you can find them online by googling ‘raw goldstone chunks’. I also see them in most rock, gem and mineral shops…they usually have better grade stones. Metaphysical shops usually have it as well! 🤗 Thanks so much for your comment! Cheers- Robin 🌹✨🌹

[@MelissaOsten]

Thank you for answering! And I love your videos ❤ keep up the good work. So hard to find good tutorials these days.

[@scottwoodresearch]

No problem, Melissa! 🥰🌹 I’m so glad you like the quality of these demos….I got frustrated seeing other online demos from far away, so I’m happy to be able to bring these demos to you all with closer view of the glass! 🤗 Thanks again and Happy Holidays to you!! - Robin 💫🌹
