Did glass blowing in Highschool and this just blows me away, the coordination bewteen everyone, the concentration and pace, just everything. Theres very little room for mistake and these look beautiful

Always loved hand blown glass...and now realize and appreciate how much is involved in making a piece of Art.

That is just truly bloody beautiful guys! Accidentally started watching the presentation thinking it was something else and ended up watching the whole two hours. Amazing stuff and amazing team work and craftsmanship!

I think the first boro pipe makers got the trick from a soft glass artist named Kurt Walstab from back in the 1950s.

You gentlemen are amazing. The precision that you two put the pieces together is incredible. You have a thumbs up from me.

I love this. When I was a child my parents took us to Corning in Rochester NY. I loved it as a 7 year old and still do. That was in the late 60’s early 70’s. How time flies. Nice work.

I love how the cane lines are floating on the surface and casting shadows onto the foundation. Lovely work.

The little taps to break it off the pipes etc just amaze me. Its always super smoothly done!

******I've never ever imagined that those ending fractals are product of so much work - heating, spinning, cutting, connecting, heating, spinning, cutting, connecting, etc. Wow! That's such a preciously useful set of soul, knowledge and skills, needed to create that piece of art! Thanks for showing us this amazing process.

I love that you guys found a way to keep these demos going in a manner as safe as possible. The adjustment of the cameras and gear looks pretty well thought of too.

As a boro lampworker I can really appreciate the size of this massive wigwag. Two very different yet similar worlds and experiences of glass work. Absolutely beautiful

I spent 20 years creating an interior home wall finish that like this process you could not tell what it looked like until 2 days after the process. It changed looks as it dried. I always wanted to Time Lapse the drying but I never found a camera 30 years ago that would allow me to do that. Love seeing things as they develop and especially those things that are out of your control. Thank you for sharing, this beautiful art work.

Yes, watching these kinds of videos ( wood-turning and glass-blowing ) is very therapeutic to me. Just so beautiful, satisfying and soothing, though I know nothing about these arts. There's something about it.

I always loved watching the glass blowing. I collected Fenton glass back in the 70's. I watched many the experts make the glass alone.

Every time I watch one of these, that in-oven cam footage just blows me away. Whoever made that happen is a genius, and I'm drinking to his or her health.

Watched the whole process! Truly amazing work! I apprenticed with two different glass workers. Both have since passed away. William Porter from Anaheim in the 80s with his company neo Renaissance Glass and David Hartman here on Kauai. Both were incredible artists as well. I really miss both blowing and doing solid pieces.... thanks for the video! Look forward to watching all your old ones and the ones to come.

I visited this place and watched a demonstration, everybody got a numbered ticket and when the piece was finished they drew numbers, and one lucky person won the piece we had watched them make. I so wanted to win it and although I had no idea how I would get it back home to Scotland I still wanted it. Of course I didn't win but I really enjoyed my visit, it is a fascinating place, it also has some great merch for sale in the shop.
