Watch David Willis demonstrate for his flameworking class, Make What You Like, which has the goal to help students fabricate in glass anything they can conceive.
David Willis began flameworking in 1994, after receiving a bachelor's degree from U.C. Berkeley in Social Science, with a minor in Conservation and Resources Studies. Drawing from an intense interest in the natural world, Willis' work addresses the relationships between people and nature, on an individual, personal, and societal level. Willis lives and works in Portland, OR. www.cmog.org/bio/david-willis
"I don't fall in love with my own work, I fall in love with other people's work" No truer words from an artist! Good video CMOG, keep them coming...
This really inspired me to create more with purely clear glass and really go down the creative hole and make something fun without color. Color makes everything more fun but working with just clear really makes you think about what's possible to make in terms of shapes and structural design.
definately one of my favorite artists to listen to. i learned alot from this! thank you!
Mr. Willis spoke of leaving 'marks of process' and it reminded me of a pretty incredible experience I had. I'm a painter so brush strokes are something I notice. I was at an exhibit of pharonic Egyptian burial goods - things not as famous as the Tut exhibit, but equally interesting in their own right. There was a wood sarcophagus in a plexiglass case, and anyone could get quite close. I could not only see the individual brush strokes that made up the hieroglyphics, but could tell, because of the thickness of the paint used, which stroke was first, which came second, etc. For me, those 'marks of process' teleported me back in time, I could see the artist working, and sense how he thought in terms of how to make each character.
Hey corningmuseumofglass thanks so much for putting these online. i love the HD, the great mics, and the informative lectures I've seen so far, and are the best university glass lectures i've seen so far. I couldn't hear the students and would like subtitles or perhaps some audio tricks to hear the questions, thanks. vote up if you agree so they see this.
I love these flameworking videos. Thanks Corning, I do flameworking as a hobby so it isn't worth it for me to take classes, but these help me a lot!
gotta agree im a big fan of the closeup. keep em coming!
MORE CLOSEUPS PLEASE!
Thanks for all the great videos Corning.
Thank you
very talented
Cool demo I would just point out that the cold seal on the bell attachment wasn't polished at the end and neither was the cold seal that he took off as he was putting the piece into the kiln. Seems to me he would want to polish both of those so they don't leave sharp edges, especially the one at the end of the piece where you would hold it if you were to actually ring this bell.
Good video

Rule of thumb.... "Its more of a guide line than the actual rules."
What T-shirt is that he's wearing?
whatchoo' talkin' bout Willis
Glass art is dirty art. Keep our art world clean. No CO2 art! Demand an end to glass!
