  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ย. 2018
  • Jason Christian has been perfecting his design for blown glass dragons. In this video we see Jason making a Red Dragon, out of cane and solid color bar. The dragon will eventually be one of a set mounted on a wall display.
    Jason has his own studio in Seattle, Washington, but today he is working at Area 253 Glass in Tacoma, Washington. He is assisted by Chris Stenzel, Randy Walker and Nick Clawson.
    Check out jasonchristianglassdesigns.com to see more of this amazing artist's work.
    Thanks to Ian Lewis Photography for sharing the still image of the dragon in it's stand.

    it’s a medium to do art unlike anything else. flexible but not messy or crumbly. hot and dangerous but controllable. how the art is never done, and always malleable if you just heat it back up again. “a piece he brought from Seattle and had it reheated and attached.” it’s one of these incredible things humans do. humans once had the idea to super heat sand and mold it into sculptures to sell. it’s just incredible really.

    To me the art is dance. What is left is a souvenir, a testament of the teamwork. Its beauty is a direct reflection of the intensity and difficulty of the steps, and its value a tribute to the workmanship of the artists.

    I just wonder how many hours you get that smooth team work against one error. Is it like once in a thousand man hours someone drops the thing... "I thought you was holding it..." or hit someone with the hot glass or tool...

      Accident definitely do happen, but glassblowers have a saying " it's not what you can make, it's what you can fix" that is the test of a true artist.

I have the email addy for the lab glassblower at GA Tech here in ATL but haven't contacted her yet. Could be problematic as I have severe neuropathy... might have to pay for the repairs.

      In fact.. a common technique. You get a crackle finish on the glass from a fast dip in water, then flash in the glory hole. Google "crackle glass" for examples. Pilgrim Glass, Blenko and Fenton all used the technique.
