I just can't get enough of these glass blowing videos! Just amazing how the art design, the blowing and reheating and cooling makes such a piece of beautiful art!!! Thank you.
I have been fascinated with glass blowing since I was a child. Your video explained exactly what you were doing, step by step, and it was fascinating. I wasn't aware that is was a team who had to work together to create a single piece. I have new respect for the hand-blown pieces my sister has given to me and I'll be doubly careful when I dust them. Thank you!
All around great video. Dennis was informative and well spoken. Camerawork was good. The audio was great. Best glassblowing video I’ve seen so far. The vase is beautiful too!
i want to cast billets of color patterns in sheets of glass and then cut slices off them and use those slices instead of cane in this exact process. can even twist those slices in optic molds for super cloudy saturated color effects and alternate that sort of look with transparents for a "cloudy veiled" look, on a clear base instead of white. endless possibilities for color combinations with techniques like this. wonder whatever happened to this vase and where it is now. greatly inspiring, i must have watched this video a few hundred times!
thanks for showing up close and step by step, makes the Corning museum of glass (c.m.o.g. for short) demonstrations understandable, know why and what for, as some artists show for the piece, not to teach techniques, or speak freely to their own level, nice to see a more Beginner level demo.( most c.m.o.g. demos are in the flame working area, not the furnace with the big pieces).
thanks for being such an informative demo on furnace work...........i have a you tube channel on lamp working..... can i place a link to this video on an up and coming show i want to do on this tech?
When Allen Goldfarb showed me this about ten years back, he called it a wig wag, and I thought he derived this off hand tech from a lamp (420) worker Dave Gates.
Ah I see. So I imagine you put on the new pipe, and then close off the (now off centre) opening with the diamond shears? I would enjoy seeing that being done.
Instead of making a long tube, reheating, turning... Why not rake the cane before melting it in? You'd still have to pinpoint the heat, but a smaller torch should make it possible and it would be faster.

That vase is phenomenal! Wonderful informative demo, better than any demo I have ever seen or heard. Thank you!!

Just started glass blowing, this was an awesome video! Nice switch backs for sure! Learned a few things, thanks.
thanks for showing the finished product. Most of the time that part is forgotten. :)
Well done. Great team too!

Great job in every aspect. Thanks!
Nice piece. That would look pretty cool as a platter or spinout too. Doing with transparent could be a challenge.
Awesome!
really awesome. Something to aspire to!
Amazing !
That's pretty sick.How much do you sell a vase like this for?
When Allen Goldfarb showed me this about ten years back, he called it a wig wag, and I thought he derived this off hand tech from a lamp (420) worker Dave Gates.

But doesn't puntying it allow the gaffer to more easily tidy up the remaining open axis hole?
If you neck it correctly before you switch to the new pipe the hole is very easy to close on the blowpipe and you don't need to punty it
David Patchen FAKE NEWS.
Really great video thank you ;)
so they just switched the axis?
Dennis, do you do workshops?
Well, This looks like fun, always wanted a job suitable for anyone that can blow up a balloon.
"That's a gather of glass on the end of my rod..."
hey, I Loved this video! Do you have ideas to help my videos?
You punty it so you can close the hole. Trying to do that off axis would be extremely difficult.
how do you smoke weed out of a vase?
how much would something like that sell for?
Yes. I should make a video :)
By "neck It correctly" I mean pull the neck a bit so you have something to grab to close
Instead of making a long tube, reheating, turning... Why not rake the cane before melting it in? You'd still have to pinpoint the heat, but a smaller torch should make it possible and it would be faster.
Sometimes wish Boro could be moved that easily :)
wig wag...
Nice effect. From flameworking technique, right? You could save yourself some time by not puntying it before the switch.
Happy to show you how. Send me email or contact me thru my website
Great job on walking us through the process.
So basically a large scale wig wag.
Exactly correct. Also the coe of the glass is almost exactly three times higher. Boro being 33 and furnace in the USA being 96
