Watch as Cesare Toffolo demonstrates for his class, Flameworking in the Venetian Style, in which students will learn traditional approaches for creating Venetian-style goblets, using borosilicate glass and a variety of techniques, including color application, filigree, gold leaf, incalmo, air trapped bubbles, and hot assembly.
Cesare Toffolo was born in Venice in 1961 and comes from a family of well-known master glassmakers in Murano. At the age of fourteen he started working in his father's studio where he learned the fundamentals of lampworking. With his inventive spirit and his own avant-garde technique, Toffolo creates artistic glass of rare beauty, many of which are internationally exhibited in Museums and Galleries.
Since 1991 he has been invited to hold courses in premier international glass schools.
Toffolo is currently one of the greatest exponents of the glass art worldwide. His glass studio and gallery are located on the Murano street fondamenta dei vetrai, in an old palace of 14th where, with his sons Emanuel and Elia, a long history of glassmakers tradition goes on. www.cmog.org/bio/cesare-toffolo
Watching him work lets me know just how much more I have to learn...
Man, I could watch Cesare work glass all day long!
Talk about 600 years of tradition. That is layers and layers of skills and abilities way beyond even the most very skilled and talented torch workers. Wow! There's a reason all those guys look a little glum. That's a lot to live up to! I know where I want to visit next time i'm in Murano!
Maestro cesare at it again
Thanks for watching!
Cesare is a maestro, amazing work and control and detail...
This piece is so BEAUTIFUL! I don't know why but it moves me! Is that odd???
Not odd at all! We're glad you love it; thanks for watching!
Beautiful work xxxx
Damn, I wish I could see the work leading up to this,,,
c'est merveilleux...
hot damn, those one-touch welds on the flower assemblies...
so so so stunning, what a master.. i hope to be this good one day
!!! UNO MAS HERMOSO QUE EL OTRO ¡¡¡ ufff, quisiera ir a presenciar unos días al Museo a ver como trabajan los Artistas pero se me dificulta por no saber donde están.
felicitaciones
really awesome.
The maestro!
Thanks for watching, Kevin!
It looks so easy.. ;-)
Amazing work thanks for sharing. How can i get one of the shirts him and his assistant are wearing?
What clear tubing is that called with the exterior surface layer with all the vertical lines?
It was amazing how he fixed that cracked glass! So lucky to have been able to see that too.
today all I needed to see was the fold and slide and off he did with the point's end to open it up. That was slick. And my words of advice for that flower assemblage for the stem that happens mostly before this video: don't try this at home ;)
Why doesn't this glass need to be annealed? And why would the foot be more prone to cracking?
His hand work is more on center then alot of peoples lathe work
That's quite the pimp cup
would have loved to have seen all the arts being made also instead of just being taken out of a kiln and stuck on. a beautiful piece though
Thanks for watching!
And to think he could charge up to 300 to 350 for that one piece..
It's amazing but I believe they undercharge for some of their work....I mean there are pipe makers who sell pipes for $30,000 and even some that have sold for near $100,000
But at the same time I don't really know the retail of a piece like this
try closer to $3k...
Steve Shouse ha ha ga!
350 wouldn't get him to even light his torch ...try 10x that !
@@chrisjames7803 u would think but on their store most are 200 to 300
