i've been making implosions for 10 years, never fully liked them, tried to teach myself to make them, watched this video once and now my implosions are coming out exactly the way I want them to because now they're compression marbles lol. in glass sometimes it's just one or two little things you can add in or leave out that make all the difference in the world. thanks corning and kobuki

Thank you Mr. Kobuki for sharing your awesome skills with all of us! Definitely a "favorite" for me!

Each time I watch this it helps me more and more! Such an amazing demo!

22 people let their maria get too concave.

Absolutely amazing. Having often marveled at these amazing creations, I never fathomed exactly how they were produced. Now I have a much better idea. Blessings y’all, from the lush green hills of Tennessee.

Thank you Kobuki for being an incredible artist and awesome teacher. I've watched this demo multiple times, taking notes, and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you Corning for also being an incredible platform and studio to allow artists to do their thang as well as spreading the knowledge for future artists, like me! 🫶🏻

When he goes for the push at 4:10 and just gets it perfectly UGGGG HE MAKES IT LOOKS SO EASY!

Thank you very much! Love John's work and this demo is really great!!!

Incredible to watch such a talented artist work from 8k miles away... thanks for posting!

Absolutely amazing work. I learned a ton!

This is amazing, I have never seen this done before but I have seen the finished product. Now I know how it's done!!!

Great video. I really appreciated being able to see the whole process. Picked up a couple of techniques that are going to make a big difference in my marble making ability!

As a beginner this was wonderful to look to the future. Thank you for this demo! I learned so much.

Very nicely done John.

Solo beautiful. Would love to have it or win it if you would do a contest.

Beautiful.I have seen others who recommended you and/or took lessons from you.I am disabled and can't afford a kiln.Is there any glass I can try that don't need to be annealed?I do have a jewelers torch,as well as propane and oxy/acetylene torches.I just want to try glass work without a big investment.I made a 1" tall swan years ago that wasn't half-bad,but one of my children dropped it.It wasn't annealed and broke easily.Thank You so much for sharing,you are an awesome artist!

+Bowtie41 If you use borosilicate glass instead of soft glass, you will need very little or no annealing. I would suggest a class to learn more about the ins and out of that type of glass, as well as learning about the best types of torches and fuel gas. You can read more about what The Studio has to offer at www.cmog.org.

+Bowtie41 Vermiculite in a large pot can work for annealing smaller glass objects, you can also flame anneal small objects and if done properly, they shouldn't need a kiln.

Do i understand this right. That the compression is what in the end gives the petals there color? Like zooming out on a low definition picture?

@joericcardi4867

9 жыл бұрын

The petals are the actual color of the glass, if he didn't compress it as much they would still be the same color. The compressions make the petals go outward, if he had not compressed it a ton while super hot the petals would look more straight up rather than curved around the glass, giving it the flowery affect. Hope this helped :)

What GTT model is that?

Is that a mirage or a phantom?

Amazing. Makes me wish the studio in my school had lamps instead of just gloryholes.

Does anyone know which GTT torch Mr Kobuki is using pls ?

He is using a snub-nose (short barrel) Mirage from GTT.

@cosmoglassworks

It's a GTT Phantom. The Mirage has 33 jets in the outer ring, where the Phantom has 15. Also a Mirage has a stand with a knob to adjust the angle, where a Phantom doesn't have the knob.

What happens if the maria gets too concave? Does the dimple trap air?

@corningmuseumofglass

3 жыл бұрын

Hi, If the maria gets too concave then the pattern/imagery can become distorted when you flatten it in preparation for more layers. A maria that is too concave can also lead to the pattern ending up too small once the final heating and shaping are complete. Thanks for watching!

The heating up the glass is the most important part of the process. Shut up and be thankful for the demo.

this channel norma'ly has great angles but this video you often cant see what hes doing

Didymium filters for the types of cameras used 8 years ago are extremely expensive. They could use 58mm cameras and or gopros with lens filters, but they are still pretty expensive. Be greatful for this video, these classes arent cheap if you had to attend. Be greatful my friend

Его мрамор легко продается от 500 до 2000 долларов США, и они пользуются спросом, так как он один из лучших в том, что он делает, был одним из оригиналов. Он, вероятно, использует менее 20 долларов США в газе и o2

Kobuki is an excellent craftsman. Too bad this video was directed by a completely untalented goon. It should have been about 15 minutes long, and instead it is 51 minutes long with long shots of glass heating up. Bor-ring.

Curious why did he touch the white glass to his nose? It was around 19:40-20:10 new to glass blowing so I want to learn whatever I can.
