How Bruno Romanelli created a new glass artwork called Titan. The film illustrates the many processes involved in the making of a highly complex glass casting.

stunning. Perfect. Wow. Thank you.
Beautiful piece. Love the simplicity of form and colour. This is a great tutorial which will help me make a piece I have been wanting to do for some time. The clear steps make the process much clearer.
Absolutely riveted by the process, so much can go wrong. The end result was spectacular, like amber encased in perfect ice sphere half that will never melt.
You Sir, are a true glass GURU!! That piece "TiTaN" is amazingly awesome.
I love the texture of cire perdue glass pieces. René Lalique designed and made wonderfull glass cire perdue pieces (with his chef d'atelier Maurice Bergelin) to make them look as though they were carved from one block of rock crystal. Rock crystal is a mineral or gem also used by Lalique who had been a jeweller prior to glassmaking.
Love your craftsmanship and the wonderfull piece you made, very sensual and tactile. Invites to touch.
Pearls before swine.Just be incredibly grateful that a master craftsmen allowed you a glimpse of his process.
fascinating to watch this process. What a lot of work!
And then......he drops it~! Truly unbelievable.
Omg I am blown away. Gripping... and totally worth the watch
beautiful - the man and his craft , great little film too .
The video is better than the piece
Absolutely stunning! thank you.
THANK YOU for this. Beautiful work.
Great editing on this video! :)
Really beautiful . What a technique !! Our deepest congratulations for the technique and creativity. From Stylia Glass Studio in Brazil.
Very cool watching this process
I like this video- no talking.
Stunning! A scultura that evokes the sense of the cosmos in movement and depth. Breath-takingly beautiful. These comments below that say the glass is not clear... clear glass is easy to buy industrially. This is sublime.
Art is priceless ... for those who know what art means, how many efforts need and what the result should be ... BRAVO
Holy crap just read some of the negative comments. Guys do your f***ing homework on working with glass. Glass is a true bitch to work with and this is ART. If the artist is happy with the outcome, that's what counts. I my self appreciate something made form almost nothing. Way to go Bruno! Keep up the great work!!
I know nothing about glass making here, so forgive me if I ask: why so many cast and mold for just a glass semi-sphere?
I was thinking... So this is why it costs 3000 dollars lol. Seemed like a lot of work for a not so mesmerizing finished product
He enjoyed doing it
A true Glass Artist
Just art 🤩
How do you recommend removing the wax form from the plaster investment mold with a DIY set up?
Maravilloso
What I'm not understanding is why did it take three weeks to fuse and anneal?!
Great condensed view of the glass casting process on a large scale, but...what is it...??
this video gave me blue balls
Pretty clever processes, but I was waiting for a conclusion but it didn't seem to happen?
For any questions questions related to creating glass artwoks please contact the artist Bruno via his website www.brunoromanelli.com/
What is that tool called that he is using to shape the dry plaster with, type of potters wheel with cutting attachments?
If you have any questions regarding which tools Bruno uses please contact him directly via his website
If I shellac a kiln fired ceramic sculpture can I use this to create an investment mold? If so how do you remove the ceramic piece from the plaster investment without breaking it? Is this challenging?

eres genial
3 weeks in the kiln??
what is the flexible paper product being used to make the plaster mold?
it is a sheet of floor coating
The finished piece is interesting. Not sure it's worth all that effort. I feel like the casting process could be simplified if the end goal is a half sphere with a hole in the middle.
What's the investment? Glass cast?
The 3 weeks in the kiln needs more information. Please
Actually, the melt was fairly fast. The time-consuming part is the cooling process. With glass that thick, he likely had to cool it down the first couple hundred degrees at no more than 1/2 degree per hour
No. Initially, the furnace temperature was probably raised to around 1,600 deg F to melt the glass but the temperature wasn't held there long enough or was cooled down to below 1,200 F too quickly. That allowed the trapped bubbles to be captured. I do traditional glassblowing. When I add fresh glass to the furnace, I raise the temp to 2,200 F and hold it there for at least 2 hours. Then, I slowly cool the glass down to around 1,900 F and hold that temp for several hours. The glass is still molten and fluid but, with the lower temperature, it's more dense. It's a process often referred to as a squeeze - to help get rid of the air bubbles. If cooled down to a solid state without that kind of pause, you get entrapped bubbles.
Three rights to make a left. And they filmed it.
Okay but what is it?
To bad it was to complicated to explain the process, in each step. very professional
Interesting technique but no wonder it's not popular.
Am I missing something? Lmao, this seems like a whole lot of work for a murkey piece of glass.
yes
This is about sensuality, tactility and the purity of shape. It invites to touch.. You should try
"art"
This is some of the silliest and most inefficient glass making I have ever seen. The outcome is definitely not worth the effort.
Another youtube “expert “
forget about counting likes and views.. how many times throughout the video did you say "WTF?"
I thought it looked amazing. Oh taste
way too strugle for a simple thing!
I can understand why it's a lost technique, it's definitely not efficient.
I agree with most people on here. This thing looks dumb.
ok so im not the only one thinking this, way too many steps for an opaque half sphere
What the heck is it? That’s a lot of work, time and energy for that chunk of glass which is full of bubbles and poorly polished
If he was going to carve the original model he could have carved the piece of plaster that the glass went into for casting
1. carve plaster
2: put in glass and fire in kiln
3:finish work off.
it took three weeks in a kiln!!!! seriously??
WTF is that?
