- This video shows the making of a reticello platter with a folded edge. Learn more about this object in The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking by William Gudenrath renvenetian.cmo...
The Venetian glass industry enjoyed a golden age during the Renaissance. By the early 1500s, the wonders of Venetian glass were well known throughout western Europe. Not well known, however, was how these objects were made. Until now. The result of 30+ years of research by William Gudenrath, The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking - renvenetian.cmo... - presents 35 complete reconstructions of Venetian glassmaking techniques through detailed 360˚ photography and high-definition video.
I wish you'd give us a shot of the finished product at the end of the video, to see the results of this mind-blowing artistry.
Niamh225, don't they show it at the start?? 🤔
I've always wondered how these were made! He makes this look so easy... talk about magic!
That was freaking magical.
Gorgeous platter! I learn so much watching Bill. A true master gaffer.
Gorgeous
QUE MARAVILHA DE TRABALHO UM ESPETÁCULO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm no expert but thanks to The Corning Museum of Glass I can now explain to my granddaughters how some of the pieces in the collection at The Montreal Musee des Beaux-Arts are made. Thanks Corning
You're welcome! We're always delighted to share glass with the world. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the new videos to watch. I wish I had one of these platters, They are gorgeous, love the little bubbles in between the intersecting cane. It is nice! Good Job William!
Is the furnace kept hot all the time or is it turned off at night? Seems like it would take a lot of time and energy to reheat it every morning. Awesome videos.
Hi Kayla, the melting furnace is left on 24/7 as it would take too long for the glass to cool and heat back up again. Thanks for watching!
Amazing
Anyidda whereto buyit?
Do you have to anneal the cane? How does that work if it is 40 feet long?
The cane is not annealed. Because of its shape and diameter, it is very stable at 3/8 inch and smaller . If the cane were larger, it would need to be re-annealed. You would cut it up and put it in a cold annealer then warm it up and cool it back down slowly. Then it could be cut. If you were making large or complex cane, you would likely pull shorter lengths, or break them while the were being made and them load the shorter pieces into a warm annealer.
Thank you for your response!
Thanks for watching!
What do you do with the discarded bits of glass?
Hi, the colorless glass is remelted in the furnace and the colored scraps of glass are recycled through various third-party vendors. Thanks for watching!
Corning Museum of Glass, thanks for the explanation. I'm really enjoying your channel.
