Bought my first Salvadore last year. Every day I look at it with appreciation. I live in a major city and the museum pieces my wife and I see really don't compare.

people do you realize what we are watching?we are witnessing true geniuses at work here,just like when people watched Michelangelo do his work,future generations will look back to these artists and be amazed ....it's mind blowing to be a part of this WOW

This man is so efficient at everything he does, it's truly an honor to be able to watch him work

Love this piece, especially the murrine work. I must get my Fratelli Toso out of the cabinet and give it some love.

Stunning as always Maestro, thank you for sharing

I dont know why people say he’s a jerk. I dont think he speaks English. And he was rushed, I assume due to the changes in temperature that could have messed up the joins of the different pieces. That looked like a HOT ,massive, heavy piece. The end result is beautiful and a testament to the teamwork that went into it.

Literally doing the impossible. Wow, just WOW!

Que buen trabajo!

Amazing worksmanship.

The paddles they keep wetting say "DRY ONLY" underlined for emphasis. I don't know why that bothers me so much lol

Paddles are used both as a tool to shape the glass, and as a shield to protect the glassmaker's arm from the heat of the glass

I didn’t notice until you said something. I am making a wild guess here, but thinking that they may have started their life there to be used dry and are older and burned to a state that they are best used wet. University budgets are often in flux. I don’t know about museums or Cornell in particular, but if you want that new 4 burner furnace or funds to bring in such talent then you don’t fritter away your funds on new wet paddles when worn out dry do the job. Recycle. Having said all that, I must admit that I haven’t a clue. I have watched a few glass blowers and find this fascinating. That doesn’t come close to qualifying me to have an opinion. This is just a wild guess.

حلو تخبل عاشت اديك ستاذ

was the guy at the end who caught the completed piece holding dry ice before he caught the piece? It looked like he was holding something and there were vapors coming from between his gloves. 45:00 to 45:08

It's most likely smoke that you're seeing. He would have heated the gloves before going to catch the object since any drastic temperature changes could crack the glass. If there was any residue on the gloves that could be what's burning off. Thanks for watching!

At 27:27 it says "dry only" on the paddles, yet a few seconds later he dips them in water??

I love this so much. Where is the museum located?

The very end shot of the piece isn't the most flattering view of it. The transition from blue into the cane.

Is it normal for glass blowing that the final product is so not symmetrical ?

@napalmnacey

Yes. Apparently this is what distinguishes it from factory glass productions.

I would like to ask a couple questions of Mr. Salvadore: 1) what is the oldest piece he has from the work of his ancestors? 2) what does he do with glass today that his ancestors didn't do or would never even dreamed of doing?

@corningmuseumofglass

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Bonnie, we can't ask Davide these questions directly, but one thing he can do now that his ancestors most likely couldn't is to create large-scale work. Thanks for watching@!

Ole Dave had quite a wobble in the lower part of the upper blue section. In my opinion, this detracted from the piece so bad, it destroyed it. He should have repaired that mistake when he had time. It really shows up bad in the finished stills at the end. I find it odd that nobody told him about this in process. They must have been afraid to say anything constructive to him.

Davide is a maestro and I don't think it's up to people like us to tell him what he should do in his art. This is a one-hour demo and comparing to the other video I've seen of him, he really doesn't seem satisfied here.

nice hush puppies

I’m so freaked out he’s not wearing gloves I feel like I’m waiting to get burned. lol

Jerk? No. Having people on your team a little out of it or slowing the work down because they are elsewhere. A minor issue. He needs extra hands when he needs them. I thought he was being a jerk too, till I noticed some of the others slacking a little. got better once they were more coordinated.

I didn’t see him as a jerk, at all. He seemed incredibly easy for being such an accomplished artist with such an accomplished line. But, from what I could tell, he was a guest instructor. Teaching people how to create art with molten glass. Not only is that not the place for clowning around but it’s not like the glass is going to wait. He knew when it was time to get something done before the window closed on cooling glass and then they would have to take it back to the furnace and do everything again. At one point, when he needed the guy with the gloves, I don’t know that taking it back was even an option. The piece could have been ruined. Compared to medical school, he was like your favorite aunt Nellie. Based on what I have seen anyway.

Rebecca: At the time I first watched it I thought he was being a bit of a jerk but then I rewatched after having some sleep. The fact is, in work like this, you need to be able to anticipate what the person in charge needs and when they need it. Not when he's saying come over here, do this, gimmie that, etc That is precious seconds wasted causing the work to slow down, having to repeat or work harder longer because you need to keep calling for someone. And the others. I stand by what I said, they were slacking off.

Not the best piece ive seen him do, but still really like to see him working

Pretty ugly and uneven. Asymmetry is fine but it does not look intentional in this piece and detracts from its aesthetic. Why use all that effort and material to create something that is uninspired? The color combos are an eye sore, and the puntils during the encalmos werent centered and it does not look good. If the piece had been worked more after the 2nd encalmo to even out the seams, it would look much better. The way it ended up, It looks like it has a muffin top. I want to meet the person willing to pay for a piece like that because I do not think such a person exists.

Looks like allot of time and money spent to make a 2$ vase to me. You people blew this guy's head up so big he thinks people are beneath him. Damn shame your just a glorified vase maker dude. Humble yourself...
