$551.80 (before 20% bulk discount and shipping costs) The result is a "surprise". I'll be sure to do this on a much smaller scale. It looks like an interesting technique. Thanks for the reminder on the shelf paper rather than primer.
Jason, yes, the sand-blasting helps the top flat surfaces to match with the belt-sanded edges so that with the final slump/fire-polish firing the whole piece has a unified satin finish.
That's Hollywood magic! The kiln we show being loaded/unloaded is not the kiln we shoot in. We call the shooting kiln our 'Stunt Kiln' and is was built for us specifically for video use with three quartz glass windows in it. From there we also have a somewhat involved rig for lighting and to keep the camera itself from melting especially in long high-temperature casting shots like this one.
The randomness of your design excites me as I used to play with household paint & heat the same way & never knew which paint would react with another & what reaction would be - I was always inspired by the “action painters” of a bygone era & even with my Lampwork I like mixing it up to see what happens - well done 👏
Thanks! Remember, this same technique would work at a smaller/thinner scale too. I'll bet you could come up with a good variation just using studio cutting scraps to get the same serendipitous effect with heat and gravity.
Nice work! Are you able to observe the piece while it's firing? I don't know how the camera works, so I can't guess. If you can see the action happening, can you call the time to stop the process? Thanks!
We have windows in this kiln for photography but even if you don't it's easy enough to put on gloves and face protection and very briefly open the kiln door a bit to peek in and see where the casting process is at. You can take several quick peeks in a row without too much risk to your piece. Once you know the process has gone far enough you'll advance your kiln firing program to the next segment towards cool-down and annealing.
Hello Eytan! I updated the video description to include the link to the video page on our main videos web site where you can find more information about the materials used and the firing schedules. Thanks!
I couldn't say the exact make/model but it's a tungsten-carbide tipped 'scribe'. They're used a lot in metalworking to make indelible marks in hard materials. Generally inexpensive. Example here: www.amazon.com/IMT-Tungsten-Aluminium-Engraving-Replacement/dp/B06XYZVJJ6
Hi Wendy, Thanks for checking out our videos. The shots inside of the kiln while it's firing are accomplished with a custom-built GL-24 that Paragon Industries put together for us. It has quartz glass windows set into it to allow for a few different camera angles and external lighting. With that in place we have a rather baroque set-up that, depending on the required shot, includes some mix of of IR filters, cooling fans, stainless steel mirrors, black shrouding, c-stands, and long lenses. All that let us shoot without melting our cameras to slag! A pain to set-up but the results can be quite rewarding. Look to some of our newer videos to see how much further we've come along in the technique since this was shot. Thanks!
It ... is a large lump of glass. Better than if it was never done but also not as finished a project as it might be with more attempts? Or just not the right setup to become A DAZZLER.
Y? Y? You never know until you try. No regrets when you die. Y is y whether masterpiece or something new to try and Furthur grease the wheels & set the table for creative creations for future feast. Nothing a waste which helps develop thine pallet, talent & taste.
WOW! That was so cool!
That was just amazing to watch from start to finish !
Any relation to Mike Unson out of Manila?
que belleza !!!

What’s the sand blasting at the end about? Are you knocking down the high polish?
Jason, yes, the sand-blasting helps the top flat surfaces to match with the belt-sanded edges so that with the final slump/fire-polish firing the whole piece has a unified satin finish.
How did you get video inside the kiln? The kiln you are using doesn't look like it has any viewing windows. Please advise!

@@BullseyeGlass Ok awesome! Thanks so much for sharing.
@@moltenworksglassstudio You're welcome!

Thanks Jo!
OMG I am impressed! I have to try this technique, even if the materials are truly expensive! And the capture in the kiln is fascinating

What was the Firing Schedules of this project?
Hello Eytan! I updated the video description to include the link to the video page on our main videos web site where you can find more information about the materials used and the firing schedules. Thanks!
Hi Miquel I tried the technique and want to fire it but couldn’t find the firing schedule on the bullseye site. Can you share how to get it? Maura
Dance of the stringers! What fun to see.
It is kind of musical! I wonder what soundtrack song it should have?
I know this is completely irrelevant to the project, but what is that “pen” that the artist signed his work with?

Wow! Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Debbie! Working with Miguel is a blast!
Deberia tener traducciòn los comentarios, al español y viceversa, verdad?
I tried a variation of this on a smaller scale. Very cool!!!!!
Thanks Tricia, glad it was inspirational! We'd love to see some pics if you want to drop by our Forum and share them. www.bullseyeglass.com/forum/
Never seen a kiln camera before
It's quite the set-up. We shoot though a quartz-glass window set into a custom built Paragon GL-24.
How did you record inside your kiln while it was melting?

Cuanto material que lleva, para ser minimalista.

reminds me of the ink splats in Super Mario Sunshine ☺️🌟
Amazing!! ♡
Thanks Maritza! It was a ton of fun working with Miguel!
