Past | Present Hot Glass Demo by Jeff Mack

Our exhibition Past| Present: Expanding the Stories of Glass shows how the stories that objects tell are always evolving. Past | Present explores how objects reveal stories about people across time and place, and how the Museum can broaden voices and narratives in our galleries. The text in this exhibition-which emerged from dialogues among curators, educators, scholars, artists, and other community members-is only a starting point.
Prompted by the Past|Present exhibition’s theme of “Resilience,” Jeff Mack will make a vase that emulates a piece on display at the Museum created by Archemede Seguso in 1953 called Merletto Irregulare (Italian for “irregular lace”). The process involves a technique in which one vessel is formed, cut into pieces, and reassembled using molten bits of glass as glue to make something completely new.
Jeff Mack
Often incorporating traditional techniques blended into a contemporary vision, Jeff Mack crafts his work to not only highlight his personal expression, but to bring forward the actual process of glassmaking.

one of my favorite glassblowers as narrated by the professor who taught me to blow glass. how amazing is that? Im so honored to have been taught by an amazing glassmaker like Helen, and been able to speak to Jeff a couple of times as well. The level of skill building they have both done is magnificent. they have both mastered technique, and employed it to make a statement. its just awesome and im so happy they get to do what they love.

also, whoever it is that did the surface grind on that marver deserves a bonus. that criss cross pattern is as perfect as it was unintentional. even the marver is art!

Amazing. I did my very first glass blowing class on Father's day weekend. I've looked into doing more because of that experience, and these demo videos make me want to get into this hobby much more so. This is awesome! Well done!

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Great video!

[@jameskett5241]

Really cool piece, but what happened to Helen's wing?

[@j.b.6855]

The end result is a little to modern for my tastes, but the process to make it was interesting.

[@baunetzler]

It looks more like a DECO Objekt because for using ist for drinking would too much of the drink leve the glass via the holes which where left.

Good day, the speaker of this video is not speaking to children. I believe most of us are adults, could you please speak to us.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Hi Heather! There is a live audience in attendance for these demos, the narrator is also speaking to them. Many of them children.
