Fred Kahl Guest Artist Demonstration
Watch guest artist Fred Kahl make a sculpture using cast glass shapes during his Guest Artist demo for 2300°: GlassFest. See the final piece out of the annealer starting at 1:37:28.
Fred Kahl, or ‘The Great Fredini’ as he is known, is a New York City-based artist (and magician) who has spent several years pioneering techniques in 3-D scanning and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) carving.
Working at the intersection of art, entertainment, and science, Kahl explores ways to combine new technologies with more traditional glassmaking processes, to invoke awe and wonder in the audiences he engages. www.cmog.org/bio/fred-kahl

Thanks for watching!
Did anyone else hold their breath as Fred attached that last tile? Also, I love the moment at 58:57 when one of the other guys put Fred's face shield down for him, showing how much these guys look out for each other.
Impressive how Ross and the rest of the team managed to keep such a heavy piece so controlled. That said, I would suggest using some kind of bracing (e.g. specific-length cast glass rods) to maintain the structural integrity of the shape while hot; the final result isn't perfectly symmetrical. It's a fantastic idea, and cool process for making a shape. Never seen anything quite like it.
..Always inspiring, thank you..
Shout out to the guy doing the reheats! Sheesh!
beautiful and heavy piece.
That’s was really different. Props!
Man that one side got messed up, and the joins arent clean.

We agree; thanks for watching!
Amazing
Anyone else getting an “Out of this World” (80s sitcom) vibe from this piece (as in Evie’s communication crystal w/her alien dad)?! 👽💎

Well, sometimes it doesn't come out as expected, even Heather tries to talk it to a higher level. Just watch Fred's face it tells the truth at some points. But besides that it was very entertaining to watch.
No ceramic molds?
Wow
Commentator is Very good

A very cool, bold, courageous idea. But, a bridge too far.
"the more natural, the better it is for your health".... just no
