Reticello Lidded Bottle

[@janej6253]

It would be so nice to see the finished piece at the end in a slow turn to see entire object on these wonderful videos. So beautiful!

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for this feedback and thank you for watching!

[@belacickekl7579]

My word, that's mastery at work; even gathering single-handed! Hats off to a whole heck of a lot of practice!

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching!

[@dominicknepper2082]

Reticello, a technique most people can't do with a whole team helping them. Then there's Gudenrath who casually does it solo...

[@STAIND12300]

Is still don't understand why they never show his finished work after the videos

[@anthonyandrew3032]

real craftsmen make the hardest thing simple genious

[@dommer6977]

Could you do some glamour shots at the end please 😊

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for this feedback, you can view the object and related artworks in The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking renvenetian.cmog.org/object/reticello-lidded-bottle

[@davidruiuz4186]

I really appreciate the clear step by step process. ❤

[@d3vdx149]

These videos are satisfying

[@javedakhtar1796]

Wow amazing I love that

[@koshaz3x]

Damn, that's what I call SKILL, beautiful work, but please, would you let us see the final product at the end of your videos? It's SOOO anticlimatic to watch all of the process and not to see it finished.

[@tammyfriend16]

Can you explain why in soft glass there is always the cold tack unpolished?

[@AP-dd3xp]

Knocking the excess glass off with bare hand...such a boss

[@Blessings.429]

You make it look so simple, I am impressed

[@smaakjeks]

Amazing

[@luisumana1456]

I would love to know if it is possible to purchase or commission these objects. I want to buy this.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

William Gudenrath occasionally has items for sale in the Museum Shop shops.cmog.org/local-artisans/william-gudenrath.html or you could try contacting him directly through his Facebook page facebook.com/William-Gudenrath-252769486452/

[@luisumana1456]

Thank you for the reply. I will look into commissioning a reticello object when I can. They are so elegant and beautiful. Your master glassblower is tremendously skilled!

[@JohnDickinson]

Has it ever been considered mixing the standard retachello white canes with other colors to emulate a Scottish tartan pattern? if the interior of the vessel is blown with an opaque color of the background as a last step could come quite close to the patterns.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Designer James Irvine worked with a similar idea at GlassLab in 2011 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqapgoKEdrmXnrM look under the "Process" tab on this page for more photos as well www.cmog.org/glasslab/designers/james-irvine

I want to do that i love crafting things

[@corningmuseumofglass]

You can learn how to make glass at The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass! Check out our glassmaking classes here: www.cmog.org/glassmaking/studio/classes. Thanks for watching!

[@zaithehedgewolf4587]

@@corningmuseumofglass thanks so much but I already choose my career maybe this will help to create a new hobby

[@belacickekl7579]

@Zai the water demon hedgewolf Not to discourage you, but you better start practicing! This is one of the hardest, most technical, and least tolerant techniques in all of glassblowing, and I'd say you need a bare minimum of 3 years of practice to even attempt this. Still, if you can do it, you've mastered the craft, and you can ask $$$, (more than recouping your investment in classes)

[@uns33n]

Why clockwise then counter clockwise? is it tradition or is there a practical reason?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

It can be either Clockwise, then CC, or the opposite. It is the choice of the gaffer. Keep in mind though that to make the pattern, you must have 2 cups with opposite twists, otherwise the pattern lines up and you don't get the intersecting lines.

[@uns33n]

Ok. I understood that much. I just didn't know if it was part of the Venetian design to have the outside cup/layer spiral a certain way.

[@ping2008100]

as a non-blower, these videos would be much better with less rolling and more finished product. the oven twirling is also a real snooze.

[@belacickekl7579]

I understand it's not thrilling, but the little flourishes when rolling and how he reheats in the oven are absolutely essential to this; like a magician shuffling cards.

[@babaktiba]

Too much unnessossery work!👎🏻

[@janisfroehlig7744]

That's the best definition I've heard for "Art" ever. Thank you!
