Truly enjoyed this video. great pick up, nice design, and most of all, looked like he was having fun!

the objects in the glass were glass tiles. There's several ways to make them. One is to put powder or chips of glass onto clear and pull it like taffy, another is to fuse sheet glass into bricks and pull the resulting brick when molten. then you cut the tiles up and work it as shown. what Mr. Patchen does is pretty advanced, i've done a couple smaller ones, but i am more into cane at this point (striped glass) .

beautiful piece. Great video.

That was awesome to watch that creation. Now, for us who love the glass-making art, but have no idea how it works..... can you explain what the finished work is, what were the objects IN the glass, and what would a piece like that sell for?

It is lovely the final work !

I still have a glass covered firebrick from when they rebuilt the furnace there. Do they still have fire dancers at these events?

See the "in the studio" section of the website for an explanation.

great video

question do you ever add sacrificial material to the end of your roll up.. so when you jack the end shut ..you don't loose so much of your pattern .

no you got it. its all about the camera angle. and then filtering out superfluous footage. usually any music works. you got the hard part. all i do is add long dissolve transitions. it give my videos a softer feel. if you wanna get good at editing try to time up the quick cuts of a video with the drum beat of a song. thats when videos pick up some energy. thanks for checkin out my stuff. peace connor

btw the ninja tags are killer

murrini man has big plate and big budget

very nice stuff. i enjoy your work, want to start working with more cane and murinne. check out a cool video - search Sam Foreman Glass Art - notice i say video, the work itself not so impressive anyone can make a glass flower but the video itself is well shot and edited, just giving some examples of video and editing.

...we couldn't see it when it was complete? Like, maybe with a fkn tulip in it or something?
