Awesome. Glass blowing is such an amazing art form, it's mesmerizing. I had the privilege of going to Pilchuck Glass School in Washington state by invite only, it was created by Dale Chihuly. The guy I watched the most was making the most incredibly intricate replicas of hand guns. Absolutely incredible. Thanks for inviting me to watch your channel!

@NrrN00 It is the Team And the Work not the Ego and the gratification

The funny thing is American glass takes a great pride in the Venetian Globets, that is American Made Venetian Mockets... When in fact it will take hours for one of these guys to successfully finish one, With the exception of Marioni and Gudenrath... Venetians have have made these and continue to make the.. well less of today with China... In series, days work...

wow, as though goblet making isnt hard enough, doing it all offhand on long blowpipes is definately more difficult than flameworking/lampworking. this is very awesome, the skill makes me want to cry.-) happy tears of course. I can not wait to build my first offhand studio, its happening soon, I am very pumped about it.-)

i think its really cool how the director keeps the hot chick in the background so when the action at the bench you have something to look at
