Watch John Kobuki demonstrate for his Studio course, Flower Marbles, in which the students will explore the compression technique used to make flowers and other deeply encased designs in borosilicate glass.
John Kobuki has been working with glass since 1995. He is known for making marbles with the compression technique. Kobuki won first place at the Eugene Flame Off competition for marbles, and has been published in 100 Lampworkers and Glass Line Special Edition. He has taught, demonstrated, and exhibited in the United States and Japan, and teaches internationally. "I enjoy the challenge of creating something new with a finite shape and infinite design possibilities," says Kobuki. www.cmog.org/bio/john-kobuki

i've been making implosions for 10 years, never fully liked them, tried to teach myself to make them, watched this video once and now my implosions are coming out exactly the way I want them to because now they're compression marbles lol. in glass sometimes it's just one or two little things you can add in or leave out that make all the difference in the world. thanks corning and kobuki

Do i understand this right. That the compression is what in the end gives the petals there color? Like zooming out on a low definition picture?

@joericcardi4867 9 жыл бұрын

The petals are the actual color of the glass, if he didn't compress it as much they would still be the same color. The compressions make the petals go outward, if he had not compressed it a ton while super hot the petals would look more straight up rather than curved around the glass, giving it the flowery affect. Hope this helped :)

Beautiful.I have seen others who recommended you and/or took lessons from you.I am disabled and can't afford a kiln.Is there any glass I can try that don't need to be annealed?I do have a jewelers torch,as well as propane and oxy/acetylene torches.I just want to try glass work without a big investment.I made a 1" tall swan years ago that wasn't half-bad,but one of my children dropped it.It wasn't annealed and broke easily.Thank You so much for sharing,you are an awesome artist!

@corningmuseumofglass 8 жыл бұрын

+Bowtie41 If you use borosilicate glass instead of soft glass, you will need very little or no annealing. I would suggest a class to learn more about the ins and out of that type of glass, as well as learning about the best types of torches and fuel gas. You can read more about what The Studio has to offer at www.cmog.org.

It's a GTT Phantom. The Mirage has 33 jets in the outer ring, where the Phantom has 15. Also a Mirage has a stand with a knob to adjust the angle, where a Phantom doesn't have the knob.

What happens if the maria gets too concave? Does the dimple trap air?

@corningmuseumofglass 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, If the maria gets too concave then the pattern/imagery can become distorted when you flatten it in preparation for more layers. A maria that is too concave can also lead to the pattern ending up too small once the final heating and shaping are complete. Thanks for watching!

Kobuki is an excellent craftsman. Too bad this video was directed by a completely untalented goon. It should have been about 15 minutes long, and instead it is 51 minutes long with long shots of glass heating up. Bor-ring.
