Marvin Lipofsky, Glass Pioneer, Making Sculpture

[Mazsk]

What is it supposed to be? A glass pepper?

agreed, i didnt really like it after he did that end thing, its kinda funny b/c the pontil boys do most of the work;)

[manns101101]

looked like he messed it up towards the end - fascinating process though...

That is about the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

"fine young people" ... OMG, Marvin's learned to talk nice! Quite a change.

LOL are any glassblowers ever not totally cranky and yet morbidly apathetic at the same time?

[ssjforcecell]

see it bending the iron? mental, nice colours but what the hell can you do with such a piece?

[HawtGlass]

sculpture? art? personal enjoyment? an visual pleasure?

[adders45]

What an amazing amount of work for such an ugly piece??? Why? Where is the beauty

I got to see them do this on Thursday, March 5, 2009. My fifth grade class from Portland OR went to Tacoma and we went to this place. The galleries were boring but the Hot Shop was... HOT!
