This video shows the parts of this object being made and placed temporarily in a hot oven. After attaching the base to a pontil, the parts are, one at a time, joined using small amounts of molten glass (‘glue bits’). Learn more about this object in The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian-Style Glassworking by William Gudenrath renvenetianstyle.cmog.org/node/3 🐍
Between about 1500 and 1725, Venice was nearly the sole supplier of fine luxury glass to the royal and aristocratic, the wealthy and powerful, throughout Europe. The Venetian government went to extreme measures to protect its lucrative and prestigious monopoly by isolating the highly skilled workers on the nearby island of Murano and severely restricting their movements. However, with the promise of personal freedom and the hope of fortune, they gradually fled the lagoon to set up workshops in a variety of locations on the Continent and in England.
The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian-Style Glassworking - renvenetianstyle.cmog.org - presents detailed 360° photography and high-definition video related to objects from nine glassworking centers influenced by Venetian style as researched by master glassmaker and scholar William Gudenrath.
The resource is a follow-up to Gudenrath's popular Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking (2016) also available free online at renvenetian.cmog.org.

Bill: spends his lifetime to master the art of glassblowing and create incredible wonderful pieces of art Me: reading Fefe's blog

The technical skills of Bill Gundenrath hurt my head! I can't imagine being that kind of amazing to where I could casually gather a glue bit while reheating the main piece, shape it precisely how I wanted it, then just stick the whole top goblet bowl on with tweezer, nearly perfectly on center. Absolutely insane

the incredible thing about this video is that he does everything himself. he has no assistants to come up with small pieces of glass. he is just amazing.

His voice is so soothing that I could listen to Bill read the phone book and I’d be relaxed. Another amazing demo and show of extraordinary skill and mastery.

I believe it's safe to say, that Mister Gudenrath surpassed the level of excellent craftsmanship and reached a state where he performs true art.

I love watching these!! He makes it look so incredibly easy, but you know he's got years of experience behind him. And the glass looks so delicate and beautiful while it's being worked, but then the camera angle changes and you can see the heat shimmer around it, and realize that it's being worked at temperatures that could easily melt a few metals. XD

Oh goodness, I remember binge-watching all of Mr. Gudenrath's videos way back when I saw the one of the Venetian dragon goblets go viral and having a new set of videos is so much fun. Will there ever be a possibility of time lapse videos for other artists? I unfortunately don't have the time of day to watch entire livestreams, these clips are a godsend. Also, from someone who has issues understanding audio, I will forever be grateful for these being captioned. Much love!

Thanks for the lovely feedback! As far as we're aware, there aren't current plans to do shortened clips with other artists. Thanks for watching!

The craftsmanship on display here is simply amazing. But then people watch so called influencers showing no real skills or talents whatsoever millionfold, whilst what we have witnessed here requires years and years of education, training and experience, attracted just above 250 likes.

This is an incredible work of art and skill. However, it seems a bit tricky to actually... use. The stem doesn't look like a very comfortable or convenient shape to hold onto, and the whole thing seems like it must be fairly fragile.
