Guest Artist Demonstration: Mel Douglas
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2016
- In this demo, Nancy Callan makes a large vessel designed by Guest Artist Mel Douglas, who plans to complete the piece by cold-working in her signature style.
Highly regarded for her mastery of the craft, Douglas' delicate, subtle work comes from the slow and considered process of engraved mark making. Learn more www.cmog.org/bio/mel-douglas

That narrator needs a raise. Great job on the video.
She has a great sense of humor....
they all need a raise...
her info is solid and informative. she has the same dialogue and jokes for each presentation. she is presenting an experience to various students as well as viewers. If you see more than one guest demo than you will here all the same info. Like how a teacher has to present to multiple classes and still laugh at their own jokes to keep in the spirit of teaching.
That lady is ripped omg
did you see those forearms? I bet she can punch her own glass out of a rock
+Felipe Pereira im dying bruh haha
I was almost certain it was a man based solely on the arms. I was pleasantly surprised ;)
I'm guessing you would have to be to do that type of work everyday. My arms are tired just watching them.
Because manual labour.
I love watching the artists work while listening to a knowledgeable person explaining the process in a way that anyone can understand. Beautiful and educational 👍
Thanks for watching!
better than sports!
Watching some of these demo's makes one appreciate the price they put on the finished products a whole lot more. The man hours and amount of work that goes into ONE piece is astonishing.
Coming from a person that knows nothing about glass-blowing, I am so grateful that you guys have decided to put this out in the ether. Thank you! I also think people will undoubtedly choose this as a career choice now.
Thank you for watching!
That is my favorite. Thank you for not flattening it. Its so beautiful.
i think what you guys are doing is very interesting and very satisfying to watch.
Thanks for watching!
Wow, that was amazing! I'm not sure how I stumbled onto this video, but it held me glued to the screen for the entire length! The teamwork was very impressive, the artistry, the skill...the woman explaining it all was amazing. Thanks for such an enjoyable demonstration!
Thanks for watching!
I didn't have any special interest in glass blowing before I clicked on this, but after I did and saw how nice the studio was I was inspired to stay. Then I saw the shot from inside the furnace and was hooked. The narrating was fun, the production value was high, the artist was very skilled. I hope you guys do very well, and thank you for making this.
Thanks for watching!
Animations and commentary were a nice touch.
Thanks for watching!
Wow, what´s not to like! Great quality, great narrator, very interesting subject, and Nancy is exactly my type of woman!
Wonder if she wants a holiday in Spain.
This is the best narration I’ve ever heard on one of these. She is so great at explaining things with analogies and humor. I feel like I’ve learned so much, while also being entertained.
Thanks for watching!
the lady talking really lives for this
excellent narrator
sirspikey Totally agree. By far the best they've had on here.
I don't know how I ended up watching this but this was amazing! What gorgeous artistry!
Thanks for watching!
You probably watches a lot of art making videos.
Specially wood and metal working.
Corning Museum of Glass it was beautiful I wish she made tiny tiny things to sell
The narrator is so so so excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed her explanations. When do you ever watch a video and you enjoy the narration as much as the displayed work? Kudos to you and thank you so very much! :)
Thanks for watching!
This was recommended to me possibly because I watched a Jack Storm video some time back. Realising it was over an hour long I thought let me see what they are doing for 2minutes then find something else to watch. Started watching and was hooked. Watched it to the end. Not only was it facinating and the piece was beautiful 😍, the narrators own knowledge and seamless commentary was very impressive. Will defiantly be watching more of their videos. 👍
The artists are so smooth in the way they hand off to each other. They make it look so seamless and the trust they must have in each others abilities is amazing.
Thanks for watching!
Nancy Callan is a Rock Star!
Great video! I'm a beginning glassblower and have taken three classes at Corning. I've watched dozens of your videos, and I want to compliment Megan on her narration...the best and most informative among all I've seen. Thank you all!!
These demonstrations are always great to watch. The narration is great! And the art is awesome.
Thanks for watching!
This is epic. The filming of it even, really really good.
Thanks for watching!
I felt in love with that voice. Very nicely commented. Nice to watch and listen.
Thanks for watching!
incredible arms on that lady
I know right? god damn
ZebbMassiv making a peice this large the glass is very heavy. Your arms can't help but develop.
Thank you for the lovely narrating lady, such cute & soothing voice!
Yes, it really is centrifugal force (not centripetal force) that causes glass to go increasingly off center when spun. A physicist will argue that it's only a pseudo force because it does not exist in an inertial frame of reference. Nevertheless, the effect is just as real as any inertial force. (A spinning blob of glass is not in an inertial frame of reference so their objection is moot.) There are two other rotary forces: the Coriolis force or Coriolis effect, and the Euler force or Euler acceleration. They are all very real phenomena. Don't let anyone with a partial understanding of physics tell you otherwise.
i agree,
when a motorbike is driving inside a giant barrel, and reaches a speed where here can drive on the sides, than the force pushing him to the side of the barrel is the centrifugal force, and the force pushing against him/ the walls of the barrel, is the centripetal force. they are the same amount but opposite directions. i think thats how its thought of
Agreed. 🙋🏻♀️
Sorry no such thing as centrifugal force, it doesn't exist.
Don't let anyone with a kindergarten understanding of physics tell you that centrifugal force exists.
you misunderstand force and acceleration. LOL
A stage full of great masters: Nancy Callan, Mel Douglas and George Kennard.
I'm not a glassworker but my impression is that when you are rolling the pipe in your hand or against the rest with glass hanging off the end, the object is to keep the glass level on the pipe- not to throw it around by centrifugal force- and it is absolutely essential that you be able to tell where the glass is going by feel, and not by sight: if you are just watching it you may not be able to react fast enough if the glass is going one way or the other.
Wow these videos are great. The pressure there at the end, I couldnt handle it
Beautiful and enlightening narrative!
@corningmuseum I cannot say thank you enough times for these fabulous uploads of artists in action! Wow!!! Please keep uploading!!!!!!!!
Awesome to have a fellow Aussie doing one of these, Ive never had a go at glass blowing. And from Canberra, I didn't think anyone lived there
watched the whole thing and very glad I did
Thanks for watching!
Mesmerizing... great artists
Thanks for watching, John!
Glowing red just a second ago? Let me just snap it with my hand.
This woman is 100% certified badass.
Is there a picture of the final product after Mel did the cold work? Can we have a link to that please?
No
@@staccatoglock imagine wait 4 years for an answer and its a cold "no" lmao
I have come to enjoy watching these studio sessions as much as I enjoy watching someone work on a potter's wheel. I am an aspiring ceramicist and after my hip is finished healing from its replacement, I hope I can start working on my own wheel again. Also, much love for Penland School, as it is one of the few schools in NC that specialize in teaching about various forms of art-making. And you can't get much better in terms of surroundings. WNC, nestled up against the Smoky Mountains (and others in the Appalachian Mountain range), we got fantastic views pretty much always.
Mesmerizing ! I loved watching it, thank you so much for recording that with such a great fidelity of the work done.
Spell binding. A workshop ballet of sorts. Beautiful work from everyone including camera, narration, and editing. Bravo. Thank-you.
Thanks for watching, Trish!
the crowd goes wild lol
Robin Corprew came down here looking for this comment xD
what an amazing group of synchronized artists.. remarkable work
I love art. Any art, and I’ve purchased three “marbles” and lots of beautiful paper weights and I’m enjoying watching them behind the scenes - awesome!
Thanks for watching, Kimberly!
What a beautiful studio. Looks like a restaurant.
So fascinated by all these videos
Boy, I have been a fan from day one (my day one) when I discovered the CMOG whilst clicking down a TH-cam rabbit hole and continue to do so. This particular episode is fantastic and educational to fit the direction and mission of the CMOG and and glass artists globally. The only minor/nit-picky "Debbie Downer" comment that I can muster is the hostess who kicked off the video segment and the choice of wording in terms of how bad you're gonna suck when you start doing glass work. Had I seen this episode as my first one and actually had some incline or desire to pursue this type of art, that would have been a bit of a detractor. Aside from that, I (99.998%) appreciate Corning, their sponsors and most epically the artists and the unquestionable generosity for producing and streaming these segments that are fascinating, educating, illuminating and certainly entertaining. Cheers from TN - 2020. :)
i love the metallic effect she has created on the core absolutely stunning work
Richard Jones
Can we see the finished engraved piece yet?
I'm way too high to be watching this!
I like your style.
PandaView yup thats whats up
Same bruh.
dude i was thinking the same thing, im blasted
Best way to watch.
The teamwork is what really impresses me.
We agree, thanks for watching!
So cool, Binghamton, ny is my hometown, we would always pass the sign for cmog but never did actually go. We were lucky enough to move to Okinawa, Japan where there is so many glass blowers and pottery and that sort of thing. So beautiful!
Jennifer Duong we went on school trips from Ithaca
Mel Douglas is attractive overall everyone did such a great job no mistakes where made the the teamwork was amazing and it was great listening to the woman behind the mic
I agree. The person behind the mic was very knowledgeable which really made watching this that much more interesting.
That was exciting, fantastic team effort. Fabulous Art.
Thanks for watching!
Wow that turned out beautifully
It's almost like I am watching a sport with your excellent explaining! It's absolutely awesome!
Glassmaking does seem a lot like a sport; thanks for watching!

"(...) and we would have a really sad design change."
What a great phrase, haha! I might have to adopt it.
They must be exhausted after a session like that. Spectacularly beautiful. ❤️
I remember being there for this one, and yes, I think everyone went home to have a good night's sleep. Thanks for watching!
Its my first time getting to know the art for glass and i am falling in love with it. I love to collect glasses
It's so mesmerizing, right? Thanks for watching!
Watching this for me was amazing I really am in awe at all the work this takes to make such a beautiful piece of art
Yeah, I would have bumped in to so many things inside and outside the oven. Thriller to watch this.
amazing work and team work😁👍 its wild to me that glass doesn't fall off the pole, so interesting how they know exactly what do do to insure the safety of the glass and workers.....amazing 👌👌👌👌👌❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful work
That’s my airplane buddy you keep killing it girl.
Great team-work and beautiful result! Watching Corning videos is both relaxing and a bit stressful. But you know there will be a happy ending.
Mel, whow, you are beautiful and your glass, shine shine shine, thank you.
Brilliant Animation technique, I haven't seen that done before - well done! Great narration too - really good job making something that is interesting to watch even more interesting by explaining what is going on - I think you could make many subjects that don't get the attention they deserve more interesting.
this was amazing to watch, thank you for sharing such talent and workmanship.
That was amazing, congrats to all involved , wonderful team work on a amazing project.
What an absolute gorgeous piece of glass! Fantastic. I've never tried putting one bubble inside another. I'm definitely going to try to learn that skill. Small ones first. 😅
What a wonderful video! Beautiful result, great commentary, and such skill on display. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Fascinating to watch! Stumbled on this video and was glued the entire time. I'm an instant fan and will be watching your other vids. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
You have some amazing people on this channel thank you
sucn an amazing work!! i will never look at glass decor the same!! thanks for sharing...
It's crazy seeing that glass piece grow bigger and bigger taking up more and more of the frame with each shot from inside the reheater.
Informative, fascinating and beautiful. Such an amazing team. Many thanks to each of you!
Thanks for watching!
❤️ love these two artists ❤️ thank you Corning!
Mel and Nancy make a great team!
love the piece!
I greatly enjoyed my visit to the Corning Museum of Glass (during "GlassFest"), and recommend it to anyone who can get to Corning, NY and enjoys one or more of the following - science, history, or artistry. I look forward to returning sometime.
My only disappointment was the moment that one of the beautiful glass works from a previous demonstration session was given away (via what they said was a computer-randomized spotlight) to a tourist who didn't seem to thank them, or appreciate what a treasure they'd been given. It just made me a bit sad to see such treasures needing to be given away randomly rather than sold or auctioned like they deserve to be.
never thought it would be that hard. great job.
loved watching this is was very informative and amazing to watch
Nancy be bringing us to the dang gunshow
What kind of camera do you use that can get an inside shot of the crucible or furnace or whatever you call it.
Heli PadUSA it's most. Likely not in it, but rather a window of sorts. On the other side to view in
Yeah but still wouldn't the heat be intense that close to the glass? i was there and you can feel the heat from where they have the audience sitting...gotta be quite a camera.
Heli PadUSA could also be far away zoomed in, I wasn't there do I wouldn't know how much room is behind the furnace.... Or mirrors come to mind aswell
The camera behind the furnace is protected by a sheet of fused silica glass and cooled with a stream of air. Fused silica is a high-temperature/low-expansion glass developed by Corning Glass Works (now Corning Incorporated) in 1930. It is made up only of chemically rendered silica and melts at 3800°F, or 2000°C, and can easily withstand the 2300°F heat of the furnace.
More up on the blog today blog.cmog.org/2016/12/12/the-view-from-inside-the-furnace/
I still have a pumkin that I got from there back in 2001, when I went to one of the show.
I want to start a glass object. making tables, coffee tables, end tables. with broken glass pieaces
Did not see any of the work being done by Mel Douglas. The work being done with the artist - Nancy - was amazing. But the title is wrong.
I started watching glassblowing at Jamestown Virginia. I have always been fascinated because my father and all 12 of his brothers and sisters worked in glassmaking but I have never been inside to see it as it all is private and not for show.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliantly done
I want to see the finished product :( great video, I want to come to this museum
how much CO² was released in the making of this bowl
More than a prius, less than a puppy.
Amazing... kudos to the narrator:)
Wow. George is a beast !
so blowing glass can have my arms jacked? where do i sign up? i actually watched this entire video, at midnight..
www.cmog.org/glassmaking/studio/classes :) Thanks for watching!
😂glass work ain’t for wimps-hoisting gathers of hot glass, carrying the heavy gathering rods with the glass on, manoeuvring around the shop floor, holding the glass on the rod in the glory hole while it reheats, all steel tools, of course you develop muscles!
I love this video
I can do this, here hold my beer.
Excellent camera work.
I am very impressed and intrigued on such a big piece. The patience, skill, communication, and overall control was outstanding. I do have a simple question what effect does the small brush have on the piece?
If any materials from the glassforming tools end up on the glass, the small brush is used to remove them - bits of newspaper or ash, etc. Thanks for watching!
*Great job.*
Nancy is JACKED
Very nice, Thank you.
nancy's name should be in the title.
Yes, Nancy is a wonderful artist
why? its not her design and she is not the guest artist. also she has another video of her doing her own amazing work.
@@sooperd00p her name should be included as she is the one doing the hot work
My god she is buffed. Must be Aussie's rock climbing.
No, it's occupational! =D
"Any burning questions?"
Good one
at 5.15 looks like looney tunes background waiting for piggy too say "that's all folks"
