Glass blowing in Murano, Venice

[peteacher52]

A helpful and informative video, thank you. Those who are good at their job make it look easy!

[SteubenDesign]

Magnificent!

[BradenHammondGlass]

I like how he smashes the piece off then flips it on and puntis up on the other side real quick like.

[MrTravelAlong]

Nice video!

I would add MORE zoom-in (close-up) shots to it, however,

in a similar way I tried to do in my video of glass blowing.

[surfhog]

the rod is steel.

[Roeshamboe05]

Amazing, wonder what type of metal that rod is. It can't be iron or there's no way he'd be able to hold it, anyone know?

[arsenal4life55]

how do u become a glass blower exactly is there a cirtain age wich u must start at?

im interested in doing this so could someone please reply

[HawtGlass]

you can first start off by seeing if any place around where you live offers glass blowing lessons. thats usually how people start.

also, to get good, make it your only passion.

good luck!

[xSilentHillLoverx]

Wow. I really want to learn how to do this. It looks so interesting.

[mikeymo333]

holy shit man, u really inspired me to get back on my scooter. great job, keep blowin. ps. im gay.

[NuitSanWoggaWogga]

man, that woman talking was hella annoying. the narrators voice didn't help either.

[steffieiih]

what a boring voice the man speaking has xD

[rdgbmx3]

thought he was making a bong.....damn.

[hxcgreen]

haha so did i

[sorrelsquirrel]

so cool and if I heard correct, he said you could be a glassmaster at 27 years old but you have to start a about 14 years old, right?

[unin00bster]

f that I blow glass in school right now. I'm not a pro or anything but there's no like age requirements and you don't need to be in any special circles to have a good time and make cool stuff :D

[NuitSanWoggaWogga]

yeah, you can start at any age and only doing it longer makes you better.

[unin00bster]

k I'm getting minuses for saying you don't have to be a glass MASTER to have a good time, you don't have to start at 14... sheesh people.

[NuitSanWoggaWogga]

i don't see any point of putting age limits on anything. limits should be determined by the abilities. Heck, if a 8 year old can blow glass, i say he can become a glass master at 14.

[ramanglass544]

im 14 whoot whoot

[ramanglass544]

wouldnt say im a master though

[HawtGlass]

hell no you ain't!

:DDDD

[HawtGlass]

thats interesting

[Dierwolf2000]

LOLOL Hey guys we got alot of glass to make, play nice.

[Dierwolf2000]

yes but that's there. they train people up to master level young so they have decades of productive glassmaking. here other than PALY I've never heard of high schools doing it. That and we don't have a legal definition for craftsmanship and in the EU they do.

[retoided]

yeah, using the moil as a punty was pretty cool.

[NuitSanWoggaWogga]

thats hella cool!

[roygbiv330]

ppprofessional! how long has he been doing the job?

[gmvsea]

Wow! That was quick, and I got to see the finished piece.

[WickedElphaba247]

The glass blowing guy is well smug, he knows he's good at what he does!

[Mr911Carrera]

He puntied it him self that was very cool

[Dalantariel]

nothing more than usual u know... I'v worked with glassblowing for a while...

[mauiglassblowing]

I love it !

[glasschik]

englishtim is hot! nothing like a hot glassblowing dude

[crwarrior]

Cool video, but the womans voice is incredibly annoying! Shut the fuck up and let the man explain. Making little sounds every 10 seconds makes you an unbearably annoying moron. I hate people like that.

[TheParsonsNose]

He looked dangerous and probably wouldn't make a good vicar. Nice vase though.

[rastafurian]

that was some real banging... didnt want to come off the stick.

[bdelume]

that was fuckin cool.
