The silver spatter can be prevented by introducing the silver into the flame atmosphere, waiting a moment, and then introducing the glass that you want to fume. If you want splatters, allow the silver to go in and out of the flame and rapidly transition from solid to liquid. You'll see specks flying off of the silver. This is useful for creating galaxy/space effects. The splatters look like stars. I know it's an older video, but maybe some people will still see this and find it useful.
This was my favorite video yet! Especially the collaborations in Italy and Belize. I have a hot shop soft glass background from Philly but moved to Montana 4.5 years ago. It is amazing here, but has little to no affordable public access soft glass. I switched over to flame working boro 8 months ago and love it. The control and ability to put heat exactly where you want it, rather than trying to cool everything else down is phenomenal. One thing I really miss is the constant collaboration involved in a hot shop. It was wonderful to see that in this video, and for you to share that with everybody else. I really dig how Italian your techniques and tool choices are. I had a lot of trouble finding videos online where the artist was using techniques and tools that I could translate from my previous experience. I may have missed it in a previous video, but it would be great to talk about the different techniques of using some of the Italian tools, especially the Jacks. Using 2 blades on hollow forms seems to me to behave very differently than reamers and better at getting parallel inflation. What do you think? Do you have any thoughts on less expensive Jack like tools? The Mini Jacks from Griffin for instance. Also, where are those small parallel tweezers from? They look perfect. Please keep teaching and putting up videos! I cannot tell you how much they have helped me. -Cheers
SO SICK!! Loved to watch 2 styles of glassblowing from across the world learn from and teach new techniques to eachother! Also those heart murrine coins are dope! Definitely need to try this. Only been making glass for a few months now, but you have taught me so much! Thanks!
I've been reading and doing my own research on glassblowing for the past year i have no hands on experience I'm a former welder. but to be honest these videos are great. can't even being to thank u for this you've really motivated to jump into it. i visited my local glass shop (goose fire glass center) for the first time yesterday and i can't wait to start taking classes there.. dustin and kevin much respect
It's very cool that you take the time to explain some of the differences between glassblowing in the U.S. versus different techniques and tools utilized in places like Italy/Venice. I originally learned how to prep blanks by flaring out blowtubes, but when I worked for Chameleon Glass in Arizona, I found that pulling points was slightly faster while making production pipes (since I have a long 'wingspan', I can pull two points at the same time, for efficiency)
The new camara shot and agles are sick on the fixed video guys! Thx so much so sharing your art with all of us. Your videos are such an inspiration! I recently started blowing glass about 2 months ago! Lovin every minute on the torch! Thx again Dustin and Kevin!!
oh lord. i was so high when i watched this, which made watching this so much better. i mean if i hadn't been so high, this would still be the best thing ive seen in forever,i found it very beautiful, and has inspired me to start doing murrine. thank you for what you guys do
I have loved you guys for sooo long! I saw you first back in 2013 and have been watching every video since. I took glassblowing classes in my hometown and just fell in love. I thought that the idea of using solar energy like you said in the beginning of this video was genius and i think it would be awesome if you guys used parts of that in your own studio:) i would love to recieve this pendant, i would treasure it forever. I also LOVE your spoon pipes and always wanted one! I love you guys!!! -chelsea (your biggest fan)
Keep up the great work guys, i started telling a lot of people about these videos to help them get a better knowledge about glass blowing. thanks guys.
Awesome channel! just stumbled upon you guys. Haven't looked at glass blowing videos on here for a couple of years and there was nothing comparable then. Hats off to you. I'll watch all of your videos from now on. peace out
Boss! Love art . Wife told me to find a hobby, and that is when I saw your videos on youtube. Love it sooooo cool. Live in Colorado where cannabis is legal. Lucky me! Blowing pipes would make a great way to make some extra money. Love your videos. Keep them coming....
Great work guys! Thank you for all these informative videos, they are so helpful, and those collabs from Italy are AMAZING! Truly the definition of functional glass art, it was so cool to see them do there thing, they are like MACHINES! Complete dedication to their craft, so amazing. Thanks again, crossing my fingers for one of those murrine coins!
This was a great video! Watching the work in Italy with masters was just amazing...Glad you guys could show us it was truly great. Thanks for everything post!
Thanks for putting these awsome videos on here. I just wish i would of caught this video early to get my hand on one your heart coins so awsome keep up the good work guys.
I just realized that is is 1am. I started watching your videos at like 7pm...fuck it I'm gonna keep watching its too fascinating and and very educational to a new glass blower. Also I would like to thank you for being one of the only people who show the final product at the end of their videos. Its just so damn satisfying
Even though I haven't had very much experience with this particular type of art, I enjoy that you guys try and do soooo well. Keep up the good work and KEEP MAKING MORE VIDEOSSS.
Just starting out, LOVE your vids. Thank you SO much! Well done! Informative, entertaining and well produced. You cover all bases and this is incredibly helpful for someone such as myself who is just beginning. I have a lot to work towards. Thanks again.
I really love your guys videos best institution videos for glass on TH-cam. They have gotten me very passionate about glass. I haven't done any glass working yet cause I'm kinda broke at the moment.i plan on doing it soon. But keep up the good work. Would love to see videos on a more regular schedule but I understand your busy.
hey guys love the videos. they're awesome. since i've watched so many i want to attempt to make a glass pipe. very good videos good instruction and explanation. keep up the good work!
Damn wow. Been going through all your videos. That is some awesome glass work. Would love it if you guys would put a DVD together, as we don't have glass blowing artists in South Africa. Keep up the awesome videos
Loved watching this video again. You guys have truly inspired me to get behind the torch once the funds are there. Any chance you guys could go more into the annealing process of glass like time based off of the size of the piece and things like that? Love the work as always guys
Great videos! Very grateful for all your help. I am new to flameworking and pipe-making. Do you have any advice to avoid devitrification from happening? And can anything be done to fix it after the fact?
I've grown up working with stained glass ; my father did a lot of work in downtown Baltimore years back He also made jewelry (mostly silver&stone) I've worked flowing metal.. welding, torching, seals for 10 years and I'm the best in my company. Do you think my background will come to use In glassblowing ? Great videos, great info, great narration, thank you so much!!!!!:) always learning :) I'm almost set up ; and my GTT should be in any day now..... I got a paragon f130 a shit ton of simax and loads of TAG color rod Ramp/hold cycles ???? Just overnight ???
I am very new to glass, and do kilnwork at the moment, but am very interested in torch work once I get the space. But, instead of cold working the murrini slices to a polish, could you just run them to a fire polish in a kiln? Or does that make them not as usable for torch work anymore? This was my first time watching your videos, and great job!

Hey Guy! Love the channel and your obvious passion for glass! I do have a question as a rank amateur that is interested in getting involved with glass blowing. Question: Is it possible to begin experimenting with glass blowing with a simple propane only torch? Like something you could buy at a home improvement store? Thanks again for all the work you put into your vids.
brilliant guys, i am really hooked with glass and murrine making, blowing and really want to get some equipment...If you ever come to China please let me know...could you also give me some tips on equipment...? really interesting videos...Thanks guys.
real nice vid cheers guys , one day i shall get into glassblowing myself sadly not so easy living in the UK. Keep up the great work Cheers & i would love a chance at getting a millie chip =) Peace
Can you show me how to make a skull pipe? I've seen on at a local glass shop and thought it was very dope, and was interested in how it was made. Thank you
thanks dustin your videos were my soul source of how to info and got me where i feel like im really starting to feel the glass.. all the tips and techniques really helped me find something that i enjoy.. before i was just messing around with some old equipment i got in a storage unit now im making art and it feels good.. just wanted to say thanks without sounding corny but i think i may have failed... thanks dustin... aslo where can i get a a pair of the step down twizzers you use.. yaboyjosh
You talk about being unable to use your GTT on the setup in Venice. I'm curious, how is their system different? Is it lower gas pressure, oxygen pressure, or are they using an oxy/compressed air setup? Thanks.
What torch setup would u recommend to a beginner? I've been looking at a few, really liking the Nortel Red Max with a minor top. I can get that with a starter kit for about 900$. Opinions? *****
Could you provide a list of the artists you visited? I'd really like to check out more of their work, but I couldn't catch the majority of the names mentioned
+Matt J (DL) No, graphite has a smooth glide against glass. Steel tools will stick a bit, which is why you would use beeswax on jacks for a smoother glide.
Whats the differnece between the gtt sidewinder 2 and 4 stud and does it make a big difference. Shopping around wanted to know if its a better choice than the lynx

You guys do amazing work. My partner loves the pendants you guys make . Cant wait to see more.

I've grown up working with stained glass ; my father did a lot of work in downtown Baltimore years back

You guys have inspired me to start blowing glass!! Now just to save up money to get a torch and tools!!!
Awesome shit man. Looks beautiful after the cold work.
I still cant beleive that my question got answered. Thanks :D
The Revere Droplet is by far my favourite
I am very new to glass, and do kilnwork at the moment, but am very interested in torch work once I get the space. But, instead of cold working the murrini slices to a polish, could you just run them to a fire polish in a kiln? Or does that make them not as usable for torch work anymore? This was my first time watching your videos, and great job!
Awesome stuff!! Non stop knowledge love!! Keep it up!
Sweet! Loving the tutorials and the collab work. :)
those coins are soo pretty I love that. Love the vids as well btw,
Hey it would be absolutely awesome if you could make some heady glass jars with extra wide cork stoppers. I would love to see that!
Great video! Keep them coming. Do you ever use optic molds? Are they worth buying?
Thank you , very interesting and I enjoyed watching !
Glad you enjoyed it

***** great video those look amazing I have a question... how many times per piece have you got burned when you first started?
Can you show me how to make a skull pipe? I've seen on at a local glass shop and thought it was very dope, and was interested in how it was made. Thank you
thanks dustin your videos were my soul source of how to info and got me where i feel
like im really starting to feel the glass.. all the tips and techniques really helped me find something that i enjoy.. before i was just messing around with some old equipment i got in a storage unit now im making art and it feels good.. just wanted to say thanks without sounding corny but i think i may have failed... thanks dustin... aslo where can i get a a pair of the step down twizzers you use.. yaboyjosh

Very beautiful piece
You talk about being unable to use your GTT on the setup in Venice. I'm curious, how is their system different? Is it lower gas pressure, oxygen pressure, or are they using an oxy/compressed air setup?
Thanks.
I can't wait to come down to Berkly this summer
I thought it was so cool and amazing to see it being made! I would love the chance to get it!☺️
Nice, still would love one of those.
Seeing some faceting would be cool!
great video cant wait to get my torch soon!
What torch setup would u recommend to a beginner? I've been looking at a few, really liking the Nortel Red Max with a minor top. I can get that with a starter kit for about 900$. Opinions? *****

Hey quick question, are you suppose to wax your graphite marvering pad?
+Matt J (DL) No, graphite has a smooth glide against glass. Steel tools will stick a bit, which is why you would use beeswax on jacks for a smoother glide.
Hey buddy I just tried to make this but I do not have a kiln yet. I'm wondering where you got the kiln in the how to set up your studio video
you guys are great ! thanks for the tips
Whats the differnece between the gtt sidewinder 2 and 4 stud and does it make a big difference. Shopping around wanted to know if its a better choice than the lynx
lot of work, tons of patience....ended up with beautiful result.
Thanks for sharing, very cool!!
These are gorgeous
Love your work and videos! :)
