I'm glad you work alone, Bill. It is a true pleasure to watch the procedures you use to form your masterpieces. I always look for your segments first. You are a wonderful educator. A great combination! Thanks again for doing what you do.
Can we have a lot more oddities of glassmaking. It's an absolute pleasure watching the usual way things have been made, the technical challenges, and he solutions to the problems that glassblowers have come up with. I absolutely adore it.
I learned so much in this video session. I'm sorry, that is a massive understatement. I've never seen a master class in glass by a master before. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I really enjoy watching such a skilled master working. Beautiful! Thanks for the show! I saw Steuben pieces in the San Antonio, TX museum some years, maybe 40, ago while they were traveling and was in awe of their beauty. What a history of experience and beauty to come down to Corning!
I recently purchased a book on the glass in the Robert Lehman Collection, and had a feeling before I even opened it that Bill and his extensive knowledge would feature in it. Bill, his enthusiasm, and ability to convey his knowledge and love for the art has finally pushed me to take the plunge and start trying to learn glasswork for myself. Many thanks and best wishes from Aotearoa New Zealand
20:48 Brand new practitioner here, The fact that he was still able to refine his jack-line AFTER the amount of manipulation he did tells me how much I need to practice! I think I somehow downloaded Mark Mathews' left hand in that video where Bill is supervising Mark's Giraffe sphere, so I'm hoping I can glean William's heat treating techniques!
I really like watching William Gudenrath's videos. Its very interesting to see him break off the goblets from the punty into the annealer. Has he done nothing like cooling the punty bit with metal or water to make it break off so clean each time?
Not that I want the internet to b more acrid, but I'd love to see a negative comment to help me understand who on this planet would possibly down-vote this and why. Not in Italian? Did TH-cam's algorithm misfire? This is nothing short of stunning. Perfectly frank and still magic.
I watched Blown Away and I think there was a mention of you I NOW understand. (Brief but seemed a bit - reverent? 😆) Honestly no intent to demean any other Craftsman other competitors worked with but kind of seems to me she had an advantage. 😉
I don't think people fully appreciate how absurdly amazing this is. There's no room for error whatsoever, and he makes it look effortless.
Always amazed by how Bill manages to simultaneously do the work of (at least) three different people while making it look so easy.
It is fascinating to watch! Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for watching Noah, hope that these videos are helpful for your practice!
@@corningmuseumofglass They are! I blew my first Roman Jar because of them! Mr. Gudenrath's especially!
This was fascinating!!!
Bill's demos never disappoint! Thanks for watching!
Такая плавность и отточенность каждого движения! Почти магия. Маэстро!!! Ну что может быть проще, чем вот такой кубок!))) Пойду сделаю такой же.)
Thanks for watching!
What determines whether you blow and cap, or blow constantly to form the initial bubble? Great video, thanks so much!
a master at work

You are wonderful.
My man's got some SKILL!
Why did I get this hour long video as an ad?

Nice session. You never explained why you were working alone.

You are a treasure!
