Bring the Heat: Chris Rochelle makes glass goblets with mesmerizing air-twist pattern stems

Watch Chris Rochelle create air-twist patterns in glass that become the stems of intricate goblets. This old and complex technique involves trapping lines of air in a gather of glass and twisting it to create a mesmerizing spiral effect.
Joined by a trusted team of gaffers, this demo will rely heavily on teamwork, utilizing the “garage” (an oven to hold glass objects at the right temperature). Rochelle makes each separate piece and then assembles them into finished works of art. See the final goblets starting at 1:30:09
In our new live demo series, Bring the Heat, join us for a live stream of glass artists demonstrating their expertise and skillful execution while “in the zone.” During each demo, an artist will present a personal design they’ve worked to perfect, and they will be live on the mic to narrate as they work-a rarity for live artist demonstrations and a first at the Museum.

    Another thing, I just wanted to let you guys know that the narrations and the quality of these videos are the absolute best and they are SO appreciated. I love watching these and all the artists you have are incredible. I can’t believe he was able to do this and narrate at the same time. There’s certain creators here where I’m like, idk what I’d do without their videos and your channel is definitely one of them. I remember taking a small glass class in Jerome, Arizona when I was about 13 and it was the best fun ever. I’m an bead weaver now, I’d love to get into making glass beads. Anyways, thank you for all the time and effort you guys put into these even through the pandemic (:

    Watch several episodes and I really love this channel. Glassblowing is just an amazing art. But I was really liking the commentary coming from the artist this time instead of someone in the background I know everyone's very knowledgeable about everything. But there's just something that seems like just a little bit more I guess of a personal touch when the artist is explaining everything. Y'all keep up the amazing work I will continue to watch because I absolutely love this channel

    It is amazing to see how you keep this artistic glass making using modern tools but an ancient technique, thus making sure future generations will not only know about the past but know how to recreate such works for themselves. No matter what is invented glass will always be superior. Thank You.

    great that you can still work in your passion during the covid thing, but also great that you found another way of "blowing" glass, one that at least minimises the chance of swallowing anything!!- certainly would prefer this way when handling lead glass :-)

    Greetings from Minnesota! I have three questions for human glass blowing (not the mechanical air) from pre-pandemic times. 1) does the moisture in exhaled breath affect the tube or the glass in any way? 2) is the blower in any danger of accidentally inhaling super-heated air escaping from the tube? 3) is there any pressure that builds up as the blower forces air into the vessel? In other words, do they have to blow harder as they continue to blow? Thank you for your videos! They are very entertaining, educational and exciting! Someday I hope to sit in on one of the demonstrations.

    I have severe spasmenagaliaphobia..... fear of broken glass. A very real condition. I have had so many DEEP cuts from glass as a kid that it made me scared of broken glass. I get nervous watching these videos. (But they’re so entertaining) Especially nervous when I see the artists break off the ends and I see the tiny pieces of glass fly off.
