I'd love a piece of craftsmanship like that. Looks amazing.

For the makers: Thank you very much for this video, filming in your amphitheather gave a unique opportunity for us intrigued to follow glass sculpting! For the kids: Read/learn a little on the subject you're talking about, if you don't like being called as a simpleton.

Jim and crew, what an amazing job of team work including the narrator! Your dragon is an exquisite piece of art. If I were allowed to criticize,---- it would only be the eyes. Slanted or half lidded would have brought out more of the ferociousness the creature was during that time. Okay, I don't mean to be eccentric here but this is my art. I remember my past two deaths and return to Heaven and all the process entailed until coming back here (Earth). My biggest regret in Heaven is not spending enough time in the public (Heavenly) ARTS. Yes we have our own domains or Dominions but I wished I'd spent more time in the Heavenly (Public) Dominion. You Jim and others have awaken me to pay more attention to the ARTS that so proliferate Heaven in my next time around. THX SO much!

Thank you for showing us the finished project at the end of the video. I wish other glass blowing videos would do that!!! Normally we only get to see them put into the annealing oven.

For some reason this is really relaxing.

Definitely looks like an Italian dragon. People don't realize but dragons are very different in actual real world lore (fiction) compared to fantasy. Nordic dragons were usually wyrms or wyverns. And the old art isn't very pretty.

It'd be fine. When glass is that hot (hot enough to be worked) it has a consistency somewhat similar to clay, but a firmer and resistant to change. The hotter it is the more malleable it is, so this comparison or simile is subject to a pretty wide range of variety. For the sake of discussion though, it's accurate enough.

+Michael Angel This particular style of glass dragon has its beginning in styles set by designers in the 16th and 17th centuries. Artists have adapted their own variations and styles of fantastical animals and creatures, some of which have become the contemporary glassmakers' idea of the glass dragon. In short, the style of the dragon has roots in historical designs, but each artist can interpret that differently.

It took 30 years to get that good, the cost mentioned was for a full goblet, lid, and topper, and those would take a lot longer to make than the fifty minutes for the topper. That's also only the gross cost. The materials (Glass, oven, tools, kiln, brace, rod, etc.) would seriously reduce that gross cost. All in all, that's a relatively fair price for this sort of work.
