Very cool! I just signed up for an introduction to glass blowing class and I was trying to get an idea of what to expect. Thanks for showing some of the basics!
I'm taking my first glass class next year at an art uni and just can't decide between cast making and glass blowing- they both are so intriguing and captivating. This is gorgeous.
Thank you for this video! My 5th grade class just read a story about glass blowing (not having a clue what it was), and we were fortunate to find this right away. They were very intrigued!
It’s such a sweet dance.............. I remember wen I was going to massage school n the instructor stressed how important it was to not “break contact”, or when you did to make the transition as smoooth as possible! And it certainly was a very valuable lesson because that for me,definitely makes or breaks a good massage.This Glass blowing dance reminded me of that........ it’s soooooo flowey...... a beautiful work of art❤️
I did this back in 1967, in Decatur Texas before I was drafted in 1970. I made some beautiful beer mugs with swirling colors as well as animals and fish. I was the only white person among many Mexicans that the owner would bring over from Mexico.
@@kookievidz heck yes this specially working inside a metal only building with no insulation in the summertime no AC or fans and 3 Moten furnaces running as well as secondary tempering ovens. Not only that but during the mixing process it was highly dangerous as many of the mixtures required arsenic and was often floating around in the air around the mixer for anyone to breathe. I tried not to breathe anymore than I had to in that area as well as washing off as much dust as possible. But it was all worth it when you could see a good finish product go out the door or even make something for yourself in your own time to keep or give to friends and family.
very helpful. I m trying to make headlights, taillights, car windows, domestic windows, side mirrors, rearview mirrors etc. I found this quite helpful.
Terrific video! Charlotte looks amazing while creating the art. I’ve seen many Glass artists in jeans and t-shirts with safety glasses. She just chose to wear a killer dress. Just as safe as the others. How did you miss the beautiful work of art and focus only on what she was wearing or the name of the equipment. Grow up guys. Keep doing you Charlotte!
I wish high schools teach this so that we can all experience the production making, by doing so we not only appreciate the glassblower community and their hardwork done but also give more exposure to kids and let them explore art and skills.. but of course at the same time, the heat, fire, and everything else is dangerous.. and expensive stuff.
@@Mike_Hughes agreed. Sometimes the more we contained them, the crazier it gets when they’re out there. This kind of exposure teach them how to make good choices
Great work. Well made video. Pity about the silly music spoiling the effect. Also amazing is the lack of comments on the music. I read almost 60 comments and only 2 people mentioned the difficulty hearing the commentary.
+MarkNiceyard It's both funny and sad, glory hole was the name for the heating furnace long before the euphemism yet no one has a clue what glass blowing is anymore.
She's wearing loose fitting clothing, her legs are exposed, no gloves and shoes that don't protect her whole feet. And she's handling hot molten glass. And she's teaching a class. She maybe an expert, but I've seen and heard too many incidents to know that this is a s recipe for disaster. She should know better.
+Ishan Shrivastava As long as your not reckless with it, it's actually pretty safe. You should look up the videos of Indian glass factory workers doing way more complicated stuff shirtless and barefooted.
Gloves? Who wears gloves? And is it her dress that much different from wearing shorts, which blowers do all the time. It's what she was wearing that day in the office. You try blowing when its a 90 degree day and 85% humidity
This is an amazing art. I would like to make basic utensils to replace all the plastic garbage utensils that is only item available, unless you commission a glass blower 😂
If one wanted to create a setup like this for glass blowing, how much would it cost to buy all the equipment? (Furnace, glory hole, kiln, tools...etc) Also curious what the marerials cost would be approximately for say that lovely piece you made in the video? Very cool.
What Bruce said .... however ... Some friends of mine literally built, from scratch, all of their studio equipment for under $25K However, that takes a certain set of skill that most people really don't have. BUT those skills can be acquired. :D
True, in fact, I built all my own glass equipment in the early 80's. Back then, there wasn't much available to buy ready-made, but it wouldn't have mattered. I was starting out on a shoe-string budget. Everything was propane-fired, even the annealer. The furnace used high-pressure (up to 30 psi) propane, so I didn't need electricity to run it (no fear of power outages). I probably did my entire set-up for around $5k. I eventually did buy a nice GH with a foot-pedal operated door from HUB (they make some nice stuff), for around $5k.
I want to be a glass blower too, But I need to finish my bachelor degree ahahh and I get this. You know what? This is make you more lively than office :>
yugioh guy The glass is hotter than that, you cool it to 900 degrees and then cool it further. Cooling it slowly prevents it from cracking or weakening, making stronger and clearer glass. The idea is to cool it in steps: 2000 degress > ~ 1500 degrees (while working it) > 900 degrees > room temperature. Note: I'm terrible with degrees as I use and will always use the metric system, so if I got some numbers wrong feel free to correct me. Sorry for the necro ;P.
The kiln starts out at 900 degrees and slowly cools down over the next 24 or so hours. This is to prevent the creation of tempered glass... the reasons for that are a bit too technical to explain here, and I'm a bit too lazy to attempt it today... :-)
I Googled "glass blowing columbus" (or something along those lines) and came across Glass Axis, its a glass blowing studio in, guess what? Columbus Ohio! Googling anything gets you the answer.
I feel like you should wear gloves when you do this but this lady is a professional so what do I know lol. Very interesting art I would love to try it myself.
nice one, great to learn some of the terms, and have a video of the tools, AS you speak about them, gives the "artist demos" corning Museum of glass do, some explanations, as their videos are out of sync, as they show the artist working, even though the narrator is showing the crowd some of the tools.
Hey do method 7 glasses help at all with any lights you have to have? Epilepsy patient with light problems so asking before i follow my dreams to get awesome like #chaddlacy or #jeromebakerdesigns
I'm impressed that she can withstand the heat from the pipe. Even though it's cooler on one end (the part she's holding). I say all this because normally you see grown bulky men, or just scrawny dudes, wearing furnace mitts because they can't stand the touch of the intense heat. Also due to their grip of the pipes. The sweat causing things to get slippery. Haha
note to producer: background music shouldn't be louder than the speaker
100% in agreement with you !
That’s all to often in these videos,n I dig music :)
Is that all you learned from this video?!
audio in videos is my biggest beef
@@ramaanplayz2901 pretty much...
Wow. I am impressed. I would love to learn this art.
I love see the Glass DIVA Charlotte Potter work! Beautiful Diva and fantastic art!!! Kisses from Brazil

From where?
In Lahore?
@@aleenashafique7019 No, at the time this was at a small shop on the West Coast. It was cool, I made a little pumpkin paperweight.
@@vero0992 cool 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey its been 9 years i wonder how are you doing right now, would love to know if you are comfortable with it
@@gunjitkumar Same, im wondering that too
Beautiful art created by a stunning woman!
Thank you girls for the show today God bless all your efforts

This sounds like a dream job for you then... What a combination! - You could combine the Massage with the Blowing!
SOOOO SPECTACULAR!!! LOVES THE SMALL INTRO TO BLOWING GLASS CLASS.
Fantastic and informative! Well shot, explained in an easy to understand way, and top notch skills demonstrated!
I only did this a couple times, but I really want to do it again. Great video !
I did this back in 1967, in Decatur Texas before I was drafted in 1970. I made some beautiful beer mugs with swirling colors as well as animals and fish. I was the only white person among many Mexicans that the owner would bring over from Mexico.
Isn't it a tough job?

This video has created a respect for glass art pc. manufacturers in my heart. I never knew it involved so much of skill.

Not really as safe as wearing jeans and long sleeves. You only need one trip and you drop hot glass on your skin.
She looks silly for not wearing proper clothing.
Amazing video and amazing channel and amazing job friend 😀😎🔥👍❤
Great to see the process. 'Marver ' is a new word to me . This knowledge could help me win in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire!
Thx Charlotte I enjoyed watching you work the glass
What genius decided we needed to have music louder than the narration in a video intended to describe the various steps of glassblowing?
Magnifique et beaucoup de courage et de savoir faire ❤
I wish I could do that for a living, it's mesmerizing. I could make my own cups and plates
I wish high schools teach this so that we can all experience the production making, by doing so we not only appreciate the glassblower community and their hardwork done but also give more exposure to kids and let them explore art and skills.. but of course at the same time, the heat, fire, and everything else is dangerous.. and expensive stuff.
Kids should be exposed to more dangerous stuff, anyway... The ridiculous 'Health & Safety' mob have all but destroyed childhood!
@@Mike_Hughes agreed. Sometimes the more we contained them, the crazier it gets when they’re out there. This kind of exposure teach them how to make good choices
@@Pepperoni249 Exactly right! Thank you for the feedback. Take care, Mike
Great short demo. Thank you for posting.
Wow! Amazing! Just Incredible. Love the demo!
What stops the 1200+ degree air from blowing back up the pip and burning your lungs? Is there a valve or something in there.?
I am reading full tilt by emma scott and this video was really helpful for me to understand the book
It looks interesting, but the music is so loud that I cannot understand what the narrator is saying.
Compliments ! by a colleague overseas .. Greetings from Murano - Venice (italy)
this was informative
*collage (if that was what you were saying :3)
Nice work clothes. What do you wear when you go out for a night on the town?
I can smell the neckbeard.
It's simply unsafe is all. As are shorts and open toed shoes.
Saftey first!
That said, I seriously doubt this is her regular glass-blowing attire.
gotta look pretty for the camera, man.
A really amazing process !!!
Fantastic.I would love to learn this art.
I would love to earn that tart
In modern times, we have stoners and non-stoners alike make bongs and pipes
Pity about the loud music masking most of the informative dialogue. Love the glass blowing demo.
What is the title of music running at the beginning?
Bellissima questa arte🌹
M incanta!!
Mi ricorda
la tanto amata Venezia e Murano
un abbraccio dalla provincia di bg.🇮🇹( w l arte della 🎨 )
So a dress is safety work cloths?
Awesome, thank you for sharing!!! One question: can you accidentally blow it so hard that the molten glass explodes?
Ok I want to try it now that is way cool
Great work. Well made video. Pity about the silly music spoiling the effect. Also amazing is the lack of comments on the music. I read almost 60 comments and only 2 people mentioned the difficulty hearing the commentary.
Quite!! - Despite repeatedly listening, I STILL can't work out what she is saying! - especially the last line...
THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD, CAN'T HEAR THE NARRATION
get your ears cleaned
its amazing this world wide mania : even in a lecture on philosophy we are condemned to hear music -- usually bad music .
Did you try turning it on and back off again?
I agree it is a little intrusive. I try to avoid that in my videos. But I DO need to get my ears cleaned lol!
yea dumbass
Excellent Video
I wonder if you can do the same thing but roll it into a flat piece and use it as "stained glass"?
Never thought to associate the words blowing and glory hole with crafting glass shapes.
Nice video. Music is too loud and drowns out the dialog.
BONGS DONT FORGET BONGS
420 forever
💯
We're all here to learn how to make a cool bong
😂 LoL 😅
Glass blowing is amazing and very creative I would like to learn how
Very nice work. I want to try this sometime.
Glory hole?!?
MarkNiceyard LMFAO :DDD
MarkNiceyard as soon as i saw that in the video i scrolled down to see the comments
MarkNiceyard It's the heating chamber... it just makes it worse!
+MarkNiceyard
It's both funny and sad, glory hole was the name for the heating furnace long before the euphemism yet no one has a clue what glass blowing is anymore.
+MarkNiceyard Well you have to blow the pipe once it comes out of the glory hole...
Can we talk about these outfits? Love it all
The beloved art appreciated at all tourist zones
This is beautiful! And so fun
Loved this video--thanks for sharing!
😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏Good job for a woman in a dress moving around and adding that heat and the glass work was awesome
So what your saying is you expect less from women?
@@justinkyledavidson oh my god STOP!!!!

As long as your not reckless with it, it's actually pretty safe. You should look up the videos of Indian glass factory workers doing way more complicated stuff shirtless and barefooted.
But I wants Attention.. REEEEE
I so agree with your statement.
Gloves? Who wears gloves? And is it her dress that much different from wearing shorts, which blowers do all the time. It's what she was wearing that day in the office. You try blowing when its a 90 degree day and 85% humidity
honestly i was just thinking that. like shes wearing a dress just chillen?
Wow that was awesome loved it thank you
Beautiful art 🎨
This is an amazing art. I would like to make basic utensils to replace all the plastic garbage utensils that is only item available, unless you commission a glass blower 😂
Cool! Maybe when I grow up I might try this.
where can I learn this for hobby ?
what is price of paper weight commercial this glass work afford ? A. M.ZAVERI
I like the art of making glass.
Wow this is amazing

What you see there probably cost well in excess of $100k, perhaps $150k, or more. For a smaller, less posh setup, you might be able to do it for $50k.

What happens if someone accidentally sucks instead of blowing hot glas?😢
Beautiful and the glass looking good As well. So glad I found you.
Tried my hand at glass-blowing recently. Definitely going to continue learning how to do it!
I tried my Hand at the Glory Hole.
Whats is the name of the song in the video?
it is an out take rolling stones song...untitled
What is this music called? Sounds nice
NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE SONG!
Beautiful! Very interesting, thanks!
I wish I could afford taking this up
For some reason, and I cant possibly imagine what that is, I feel like it's a bad idea playing with molten glass in dresses and short shorts
i'm so amazed this glass.... i really want to try this but it looks hard . :(
I'm scared of touching the heat.
+Gabby P. Try to always focus on the passion, rather than fear, when you want to try new things!
Matrix Unravelling thanks for telling that. :D :D :D :D
Wait how do you cool something at 900 degrees?
Throw it at the sea.
Darude Sandstorm No I mean they were cooling something that is very hot in a kilm that is 900 degrees

How do I get started
This is where glory holes came from? 🤔 I'm trying to wrap my head around it. Things would've been on fire!!
I have a requirement... i will pay for that. That was my dream. Can u help me?
That is why you are so happy and healthy !
Where is this museum?
Hi, We're in Norfolk, VA.
I wanna learn how to do this one day
