University of Louisville Hot Glass: Mold-blowing, human torso

With assistance from University of Louisville glass students and faculty, S.G. creates a life-sized human torso in hot glass using the mold-blowing process.
(music by the illustrious rock band, STINKING LIZAVETA)


Completed in 2007, the Cressman Center for Visual Arts Hot Glass Studio was designed and fabricated entirely by University of Louisville students and faculty.
