Very cool demonstration. I have an issue about timing. If you let the viewer watch a very long demonstration, it would be a good idea to show the finished result for a bit longer than a few seconds. I feel snubbed sometimes. Let us see the finished result from more angels and slower detail. I end up starving from eye-candy! It may increase sales. Well, that's only my opinion. Love your channel! Many hugs to you!
Pia, glad you enjoyed seeing me make a glass fern. You can see more of my finished glass ferns on my Instagram page @jenvioletteglass, just scroll down through my images, there are lots of ferns and some closeup pics too.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed watching me make one of my glass Ferns. You can see more of my work on my Instagram page at @jenvioletteglass or on my website www.jenviolette.com
The tool she is using before going into the reheating furnace is a torch for general heating. The glass around the metal end of the punty (gathering rod) is contastly cooling the glass faster there than elsewhere. When working for a long time as she does for this sculpture, she must add extra heat there in that area to keep the glass from cracking. When she goes into the reheating furnace, the back end of the the glass isn't warmed enough to keep that area warm - this is why they add "extra heat" during the making of the glass.
I've always enjoyed your videos you've put out But this one sure didn't have very much detail I just skipped to the end to see the finished product from about half way
Quel dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de version en français ! Je suis incapable de comprendre les explications alors qu'elles sont indispensables pour comprendre toutes les subtilités de cet art.
The glory hole is made of several types of ceramic refractory brick. These bricks are more heat and corrosion resistant on the inner face, and more insulating on the outer surface. Glass will definitely stick to the inside of the furnace if it touches it. If you're asking about how they gather up the glass, this video explains more th-cam.com/video/4JXAOV3DhGM/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for watching!
It looks like she used green frit for this piece. Is it not possible to make a green melt? or ws that going to be too much waste for a small-ish piece like this?
Fascinating as always! But, I like the video showcases of the finished product better than just still images + Ken Burns effect. Maybe you didn't get the chance to make a video in this case. Just saying :-)

Not many burns once you have several years experience and learn your way around the glass studio. I've been working with molten glass for 26 years and I am the artist Jen Violette who is featured in this glass Fern video.
It's out there. It's easier to make certain kinds of work, like you're requesting, through flamework; a demo containing so much detail would take a very long time.
Not the best one I've seen of these glass demonstrations. He isn't explaining and the camera isn't getting the good stuff. Too much time with the camera in the kiln. But interesting.
Having looked at dozens upon dozens of CMOG videos, I now know why the first piece broke that he was assisting her with....this commentator cannot concentrate on assisting her and being a commentator for the audience. His focus waivers and it takes him a few seconds to readjust back to Guest Artist Jen Violette. other commentators who don't assist are so fluid with their verbiage that it makes it enjoyable to watch online. But, this guy can only answer one question at a time in between assisting Jen until he can't even provide adequate answers to the viewers questions. That answer about giving advice to newcomers was weak. Yes, it takes practice everyone knows that but dude provide us with something other than "practice makes perfect", you need more practice how about that, lol.
You'd think so, to help keep it from. Bending when you don't want and in funky directions and what not. But actually the gravity helps quite a bit. Especially when it come to stretching the glass.

i agree with you on that Pia..Would love some more end result footage :)
Pia, glad you enjoyed seeing me make a glass fern. You can see more of my finished glass ferns on my Instagram page @jenvioletteglass, just scroll down through my images, there are lots of ferns and some closeup pics too.
Thank you, Jennifer! Will check it out for sure!
Leaving the Nest and Winter Food are my faves! Truly beautiful!
agreed 100%
I hope the 6 people who disliked this are only jealous of the artisan's skills. I truly can't see how you couldn't appreciate this art-form
Would love to see the finished cooled product at the end of the video....beautiful work though!
Wow phenomenal!

Could you, please, explain me (with very simple words and sentences) why she uses blowpipe (hot air) before the object goes to furnace ? Thank you.

SO SO beautiful ❣️
I agree with you Pia, are you guys reading this ,Corning folks?
Hi Rosie, yes, we read every comment on our channel. Thanks for this feedback, and thank you for watching!

How many years experience do you have to have before you can be a glass blowers assistant?

what is the inside of the glory hole made of that keeps the glass from sticking to it?

Thank You! I do glass blowing my self, it just looked like the glass was resting on the inside of the glory hole when she flashed it haha

what kind of material is it?
Nice glass

Mean is a great narrator.
MEGAN is a great narrator. :)
Cool dude
Looks like this would be much easier in micro gravity.
what kind of camera do you have in the fernis

Omg, she work arts glass experienced. Cool. But she beauty very good.
Where is the studio. What state
Hi, The Corning Museum of Glass is located in Corning, NY, halfway between NYC and Niagara Falls. Thanks for watching!
@ corning museum of glass someone should make a human heart and put it on a clear glass stand
Or red glass heart in clear rib cage. I like your idea
woooooow
What is she making??????
Jorden Huff a fern leaf I'm pretty sure.
A fern branch - see the final object starting at 1:08:09
Wonder how many burns these people get.
Not many burns once you have several years experience and learn your way around the glass studio. I've been working with molten glass for 26 years and I am the artist Jen Violette who is featured in this glass Fern video.
Jennifer Violette you d0 amazing work
Thank you!!
Can you have someone make a Xenomorph from the Alien franchise from H.R. Giger. That would be so sick!
have thought about something like that myself, would be a fantastic piece in black/green glass :)
yes exactly! please make one!!!!
It's out there. It's easier to make certain kinds of work, like you're requesting, through flamework; a demo containing so much detail would take a very long time.
Couldn't find anything on Google. That amount of detail would be insanely hard to do, only the very top artists could do it.
va in mona
vetro di murano is better because we use pasta to shape it
Was it just me or was the guy being condescending to her?
I think I would have put an dragon fly on it yup yup
Not the best one I've seen of these glass demonstrations. He isn't explaining and the camera isn't getting the good stuff. Too much time with the camera in the kiln. But interesting.
bahaha dude screwed up and they made him do commentary lol

This one was incredibly boring, that is one of the simplest things I've ever seen made on this channel.
Compared to the other artists work in your videos this, one wasnt very interesting.
Looks like this would be much easier in micro gravity.
