    ISA I think he does. Most of the ones with Mr. Guddenrath are the shorter videos explaining different techniques of Venician glassmaking, and he has done a few with the gaffers and the artists in the studios, but not all of them by far. I prefer Mr. Guddenrath's voice, however - it's not boring so I'm not falling asleep (sorry Corning!) and he's very knowledgeable.

    Question: Can you blow glass or a piece when you have it inside the furnace?

  • @corningmuseumofglass

    @corningmuseumofglass

    7 жыл бұрын

    Interesting question. You could blow a bubble when the pipe is inside the furnace, but you'd need to take it out eventually anyway to shape the glass. Also, if you were to blow a bubble inside the furnace it would still be very hot - like blowing a bubble in honey, and it would be difficult to control the shape.

    Miss Nancy is really strong! Her arms are in great shape, and she's the picture of health. Her work is so brilliant, and so lovely! How do the artists gets the excellent detail such as what she had on this piece? It seemed very restricted and close. Was it a stencil, so to speak, or a pattern of canes?

  • @mnemotronic

    @Storm Angelus: She rolled up a checkerboard layout of short cane pieces. After that she wrapped a spiral stringer (called a "machine wrap") around the outside from top to bottom. When that spiral wrap got warm it sagged down between the cane pieces. Then she worked on melting everything to get a smooth surface.
