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.
I love watching the glass workers all work in co-ordination. Very skilled and their team work is as impressive as the art. The narrator is awesome with how matter of fact he is.
Bravo! Jason's team flows like the wind against the water! This is not easy people. It's heavy, hot and constantly moving. These guys make it look easy. The teams calmness and flow are amazing. 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.
first off. got to work with Jason in a class once. super awesome guy. got to help make a dragon out of clear glass and gold leaf. Second, yes its a glory hole. I swear every glass blower has a dirty mind haha. And glory hole is the correct technical term.
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. Thanks for watching.

Ever since i visited the Corning Museum of Glass when i was a kid I have been in love with glass artworks and sculptures so seeing something as cool as this being made really enlightens me.
I absolutely adore dragons. 'Realistic' ones like this. I have a dragon tattoo on my inner forearm. He's Smaug from Lord of the Rings. I got it when I was around 50yrs old. My son financed it for my Mother's Day present. This red dragon is such quality and perfection. Congratulations to everyone who helped accomplish this wonderful piece. I just wish it was mine ❤️
David Rodgers I'm glad you appreciate the narration. I used to emcee at Museum of Glass, so I've had some practice, but I don't want it to detract from the action of the video.
I never gave thought to how objects like those were made. Simply by looking at them you can't possibly know all the work that was taken into making such a fine piece of art. I loved watching this video. Complete respect to those guys for making such a fine piece of art. I just wish I could know where to get one like that myself.
Although I could never afford this beautifully created dragon, I can appreciate the shear skill involved. Thank you for sharing this and giving someone like me the chance to see such an amazing, TRULY AMAZING, piece of art!
I work in IT and sometimes I do stuff and people go like, how the hell did you do that. You're so talented and amazing. Then I watch things like this and that praise just feels hollow! Because this is another level of amazing.
I agree. Wings on this really incredible work of art would have really put it over the top. Excellent glass sculpture, and the teamwork and timing each step of the way was absolutely top-notch.
I had to back that up to make sure he said what I thought he said, lol. They really ought to re-name that. Maybe put a sign over it saying "It's not THAT kind of gloryhole!" just for fun.
Simply gorgeous and fascinating! Our mall used to get out of town glass blowers and sculptures in during the holiday season and I would stand and watch them for hours. I always wished there had been someway to get into this but we are too small townish :(.
I love listening to his voice. I know nothing about glass blowing except for the love ❤️ For my 60th Birthday my family payed for m to glass blow 3 pieces. A paper wait A decorative ball A brandy glass Going again this month for another sister's Birthday ❤ Cheers to you and your creations 🎉
Three things here: 1.) It looks the most bad ass when it’s in the glory hole heated and looks almost like a negative/inverted color filter 2.) the inner kid in me giggled when he said it’s called a glory hole and every time he said it 3.) this was awesome
I think it is great the way you guys work together ! There isn't anything better than the person whom one is doing something with knowing just whatever is needed at anytime ! Well done ! Great to watch !!
That was more than amazing, I really enjoyed watching the whole video and listening to the commentator. Really, it makes you want to work and learn from them, even if you never thought about glass work :) thanks for the video
Was thinking that there would be a quenching process where piping hott dragon would be tempered by dropping in ice bath. Then I remember that would be less than ideal.
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.
Only very insane people Can melt some stuff in a fire And create something so fragile Beautiful ...powerful ...which expresses The creative instinct of the human savage
Well, this is something my clumsy ass could never do. BUT, _sure can_ watch you guys doin' it for hours! Thanks for a gorgeous build. My local downtown area has a blown crystal setup & shop. In fact think it's been there for the last 100 years or so? We took it for granted, just believed it would be there forever... until covid hit. Now days we go & purchase something at least once _every_ year to do our part & keep them around. Hopefully, for another 100 years! 🤞 Please, never stop doing your craft guys. 💕
Hey, you’re right.. no animal is tongue less. Lizards have tongues. I bet he just forgot because he put so many other seemingly minor details on it I cannot fathom he would have forgot a tongue.
This was amazing to watch, and the narration was clear and informative. I don’t know how the artist managed all the careful, detailed steps with the loud random chatter going on constantly around him. One mistake could ruin the work. I admire the intense concentration and confident skill of the artist, who worked steadily and precisely no matter the distractions around him.
imagen buying it and then drooping it. reason 1 why id would not feel save living near that thing, knowing what it takes to make one, it would kill me if i scratched that ting the slightest XD
How can they not wear anything to protect their arms and hands, like I can barely put my hand inside a microwave after it’s been heating stuff up for 30 seconds
honestly, knowing how hot everything is, you'd best have better chances of having a good arm without all your "protection" melting onto your skin or burning you while you put it off. If you put anything on your hands, it creates more room for error, that's why a lot of crafts people do not have protective covering.
No, they don't... Here's an artist in Murano (Venice, Italy) at work on a golden dragon: th-cam.com/video/_79EfdNnBXc/w-d-xo.html (There's no team there: it's a one-man band.)
I think its awesome workmanship!!! The creation of this "Dragon" is beautiful. I collect all kinds of glass figurines, animals, n etc. It truly is a awesome trade to have "glass blowing,"
This is exactly why people pay top dollar for handmade stuff. You can't compare machine made and handmade, just the effort and talent behind handmade things is just incredible.

Well said, great comment.🙂
am I the only one that feels compelled to grab hot molten glass? Looks like taffy!
Forbidden snack
This exact reason is why I should probably never try glassblowing.
You would not be compelled again.
No your not the onlyone I'm also stooped enough to put that in my mouth while its still hot and swallow it yummmmmm!!!
I had this itching feeling that the glass would stick to the table each time :P
Always fans of dragon but knowing how hard to make this red dragon from glass, such a great experience and true artist, you all guys are the best...
Thank you very much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
I don't think that I should be able to work with molten glass, I wanna chew it, It looks like candy...
Hot crystal candy...
Alien 0330 u spelled crystal wrong
I wanna stick my fingers in it
And then ill instantly regret my decision
Eat jolly ranchers then
Omg yess and just want to take a nice bite then chew it in my mouth because it looks so soft and Malleable.
I love watching the glass workers all work in co-ordination. Very skilled and their team work is as impressive as the art. The narrator is awesome with how matter of fact he is.

Do u both have adhd cause i didn’t hear any of there convorsations

1 month later I decide that I love your comment !
Would you make a video showcasing your glass dragons ? I am really curious
Nicole - did y'all use the gold leaf to gild the entire dragon, or for accents, pinstripes, for the scales, or...?
Glory holes hahahha
With a name like that you can tell glass blowing is a male dominated industry
It’s mainly when you watch a video like this that you start to really appreciate the art of glass smithing
I wanna see the whole collection of dragons displayed. These are talented artists!
i love how easily all of them work together!! its really admirable teamwork
Now that's what you call TALENT AND SKILL .amazing . How can you be so tough with something so fragile.
The absolute skill needed to craft this is immense, and these guys definitely have it. A masterpiece if I've ever seen one.
A true master makes it look easy.
imagine accidentally dropping the glass dragon after its done and cooled down
Good work, guys..
that's exactly what I said
Dragon: *YEET *
Imagine dragons
I imagine it’s a rite of passage...your first drop...can only imagine the heartbreak
This is not an art work..it is a MASTERPIECE. 👌👌
its both lol

I was impressed they don’t all have burns on their arms. Their fluid teamwork is great to watch.
Anybody else asking themselves how did he do this even though you watched him?
I’m still wrapping my head around how he saw it all in his head, step-by-step!
the fire in the background at 11:55 give the illusion of the dragon blowing fire out of its nose
The narration adds so much to the video!
I'm glad you find it helpful! Thanks for your feedback.
The background convos add even more though!😂
This is really neat seeing a large glass sculpture coming together as several different pieces.

Absolutely incredible. I found myself rewinding the end a few times so I could admire it more. I’d have loved to see this with wrings too.
I'm glad you liked it! He has made them with wings. We'll try to do another in in the coming year.
I agree.
Wings on this really incredible work of art would have really put it over the top.

That is some amazing talent right there!
Their background conversation between the narration moments is everything 😂😂😂. Great work love the art 💖💖💖💖
16:37 it’s called the, “glory hole!” 😂😂😂

Wonderful talents working together to create a beautiful sculpture.
Extremely awesome stuff!! I took 2 semesters of glass blowing in college and that is impressive af!! Can't wait to see the rest of them!!!

Absolutely haha
Ya I rather listen to there conversation than the fucking Narrator
I couldn't, the voices weren't clear.
You make an extremely complex build look so easy. Thanks a million!!
Thanks for watching.
Three things here:
1.) It looks the most bad ass when it’s in the glory hole heated and looks almost like a negative/inverted color filter
2.) the inner kid in me giggled when he said it’s called a glory hole and every time he said it
3.) this was awesome
That was worth every minute, thanks for sharing!
I have always been completely fascinated by this art form. Thank you for posting this.
It’s absolutely beautiful. I have a collection of dragons, but not one hand made of glass. You are all amazingly talented. Thank you
11:52-12:00: anyone else notice the flames shooting out of the dragons nostrils? WICKED!!!
I didn't even notice that. That is pretty awesome!
I noticed
That would be a blowtorch lol
CARL BRAGANZA Yes I have noticed them, it’s the torch from the far background. Did look crazy for a few seconds.
Yup 🐲
I enjoyed watching every single second of this video. This is more than just art
21:52 this dude really just sitting here holding a full flame thrower
i don't know how the guy in front of him feels safe, if i were him i would never trust anyone. he could literally kill him with that flamethrower
not a flame thrower
@Pbperez 210 blow torch, whatever you guys know what I mean

Absolute masterpiece of glass art ... Thanks 4 sharing !
Me: umm yes, very nice...now we’re making it into a bong.
JoeRyMi ikr, all that work and you can’t even rip a dab or bowl through it lol still very beautiful and impressive!
Pretty much haha
More like an opium pipe so you could chase the dragon....
“Inside will be the teeth, and outside will be the lips” -9:25, yeah I hope so
Not even interested in glass, but this was on my recommendation.
I ended up watching entire video.
WWWOOOOWWW! Having the vision is one thing, but having a team working together and knowing what each person needs to do is amazing!
It is really amazing the shoots of the dragon inside of that machine, surrounded by all that heat and the burning yellow colour as background
That was more than amazing, I really enjoyed watching the whole video and listening to the commentator. Really, it makes you want to work and learn from them, even if you never thought about glass work :) thanks for the video
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the narration. I'll do more in the future.
Quite cool! Also love the narration
Thanks for your feedback!
Was thinking that there would be a quenching process where piping hott dragon would be tempered by dropping in ice bath. Then I remember that would be less than ideal.
Yes, that would be the end of the video.
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.
This is insane! Blows away any glass vid I've seen. It's a true sculpture. The amount of work just leaves me gobsmacked.
That was pretty damn awesome . It must take a hell of a lot of trust to be part of that ...and second chances must be very few . Thank You Greg Owen
One of those random videos you come across on TH-cam. WOW !! Nice teamwork guys.
Only very insane people
Can melt some stuff in a fire

Amazing to watch the process and see just how much work goes into one piece. Makes you appreciate glass work so much more.
11:53: that blowtorch in the background looks like fire going out of the dragon's nostrils :-)
I think the cameraman knew what's up lol
I collect wood carvings, but this is a whole next level. I love it
Where's the dragon's tongue?? Got an opened mouth dragon full of teeth but no tongue???
Hey, you’re right.. no animal is tongue less. Lizards have tongues. I bet he just forgot because he put so many other seemingly minor details on it I cannot fathom he would have forgot a tongue.
true, then the dragon has to be cheap :V
I thought I saw they made a tongue by carving with the knife early on.
BRILLIANT OBSERVATION~ Seriously... WTF!

I will never complain about the price of a glass sculpture. I honestly thought they just poured liquid glass in a mold.
No, they don't... Here's an artist in Murano (Venice, Italy) at work on a golden dragon: th-cam.com/video/_79EfdNnBXc/w-d-xo.html (There's no team there: it's a one-man band.)
I kept thinking "Someone sat next to these guys in school thinking they were just the kids that bent the crayons out of shape." Masters, all of them.
I always feel uncomfortable watching this because I feel like the glass at the end will break and the entire dragon will smash to the ground.
I think its awesome workmanship!!! The creation of this "Dragon" is beautiful. I collect all kinds of glass figurines, animals, n etc. It truly is a awesome trade to have "glass blowing,"
