- This goblet is made using filigrana, a style of blown glass made with colorless, white, and sometimes colored canes that originated on the island of Murano in the 16th century. The canemaking and glassblowing processes are shown in the video. Learn more about this object in The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking by William Gudenrath renvenetian.cmog.org/object/th...
The Venetian glass industry enjoyed a golden age during the Renaissance. By the early 1500s, the wonders of Venetian glass were well known throughout western Europe. Not well known, however, was how these objects were made. Until now. The result of 30+ years of research by William Gudenrath, The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking - renvenetian.cmog.org - presents 35 complete reconstructions of Venetian glassmaking techniques through detailed 360˚ photography and high-definition video.
"Very Pretty" he says! lol!!!! I love that he can still impress *HIMSELF* after allllll these years!! 😜😂😍
I just ❤️ his tutorial videos!!..
Thanks for watching!
The amazing thing about glasswork is that even if most jobs in the future are taken by robots and such, glasswork is something that is exclusive to humans and will be for a very long time.
I enjoyed watching this video. Many years ago, I had the pleasure to visit the Corning museum.
Thanks for watching!
It's incredible the amount of dedication and talent it takes to make something that looks so simple at first glance.
Well Bill doing it solo is a crazy high level skill achievement. Normally teams make the cane then other teams use it. Its awesome to see Bill do solo rollups.
I’ve been in awe of Bill for some years now. Does he do exclusively historical techniques and work, or does he uses them also to create temporary modern works ?
Bill is such a pleasure to watch! He makes it look so easy but I know it is not.
We'd love to see him in action some day.
Beautiful. Real craftsmanship. I am addicted to hot glass and also have several glass blowing videos on my CZcams channel.
Needs some glory shots at the end
What fantastic skill, I'll never look at glass the same way again!
Well said mate 👏 that is a skill that would take a lifetime to learn I have watched loads this past week
There's actually a vid of bill in 1989 doing some early versions of this stiff. He's constantly practicing, its really amazing to see his progress.
I’m glad I found your channel! I’m having a ball watching all of these! Just all are sensational pieces!
V go to the shops and expect the chepest rates of these items but v ignore the hard work of that man .... I really apriciate ur job sir... u r brilliant....
10:08 Narrator: “bum, bum, bum, bum, very pretty”
It is very pretty!
It's always interesting to watch a master. what took years of practice looks effortless.
Just that little trim that you see there at the end is a really, really difficult skill to master!
I've never done this before but it does look very difficult to me. I can only imagine how tough it is to balance the heating, spinning, shaping, all at the same time. You almost forget that's glass they're working with, one of the most fragile materials we come across day-to-day
Hellaciously high temperatures too. When the twisty cane is being stretched its around 1400 and rocketing down to room temp
Wow, it must've taken years to make such a beautiful piece look so easy! Amazing job, Corning!
I would love to see a cup like this made with RAINBOW filigree
I love these videos they are incredibly satisfying to watch.
Thanks for watching!

Simply amazing. This glass is just. Pure. Sensation.
I didn't know it was this complex xD wonders of human creativity!
Beautiful video
Brilliant craftsmanship !
Absolutely love your programmes. Cant get enough of the demonstrations.
So wish I lived near by you.
I don't make anything with glass and can't due to disabilities. But love to see such craftsmen and craftswomen create such masterpieces.
Many thanks for opening up your craft to the world!

Hi Chris, thanks for the kind words! You'd be surprised how much glassmaking can be adapted for people with handicaps. If you're interested in seeing/doing glassmaking near you, we highly recommend the Glass Art Society's resource: www.glassart.org/schoolsworkshops.html. Thanks for watching!

Fascinating.
Nice bit of work there. Appreciate the explanations as well.
Amazing talent
Wow..... Fabulous...
great video, explains a lot about cane production, cmog, add THIS VIDEO as a link with some of your "bring the heat" series of videos, as this explains the prep steps so we can understand what goes on to make canes :-))
It looks like LACE... its so intricate you are so pro thanks for this wonderful video
Burano, the neighbor to the island of murano, where glass like this is made in venicr, is famous for its lace. Many cane patterns are named after lace types and many are direct imitation of specific lace patterns. Must have been quite the household with lace tablecloths matched to lace patterned wine goblets lol
awesome.....thanks for sharing....
Remarkable.
Please can you, at the end of the video, put a picture of what the finished piece looks like!! Thanks!
+The Royal Raccoon There's a photo of the original object here renvenetian.cmog.org/object/three-bubble-goblet-filigrana along with related objects from the collection made with the filigrana technique.
Yes, this would be a great ending to some reaaly fascinatng videos.
its at the beginning
i think the finish product has been shown earlier in the video..
Beautiful. Real craftsmanship. I am addicted to hot glass and also have several glass blowing videos on my CZcams channel.
Centrifugal force is what pulls the piece away from a rotating rod. The Centripetal force would be the force that is keeping it from flying off the rod in the opposite direction. Similar but distinctly different.
I like it
Good job.....
Super amazing work
that was amazing to watch, very interesting!

Какое мастерство художника!!
DANG!!! OUTSTANDING!!
Great craftsmanship, but a pity that there was no overall view of the finished goblet at the end!
Aint nothin like shattering molten glass wearin shorts!! lmao!!
You need to show longer the final product so we can appreciate it please
Bill Gudenrath, are you teaching students your art and craftmanship so the wisdom does not die out as you eventually quit your work ?
He does teach these techniques in courses available to intermediate to advanced glassblower students.
who ever works for the company is very clever
Beautiful !
+Afrodite Elseesy Thanks for watching Afrodite! Be sure to check out the other videos at renvenetian.cmog.org/visual-guide
Wow wow wow
Q .lindo es el arte del vidrio. Gracias. Q .dios los. Bendiga y q. Perdure. X. Siempre.. bendiciones
Thanks for watching!
Wow
I like
watched a couple of these so far, great way to see its conception but some post shots after cooling would be good. We dont get the sense of design in the glass all that often.
If i buy that glass how much i will spend/cost?
Good
This is a beautiful glass. Do you reuse the bits of glass you break off?
9:08 in an David Attenborough's voice " now its a fish going in to a hole of any kind swimming deeper and deeper until it has found it prize! "
Wow just like a candy
Kiya artist 🎨 hai wawawawa
bet this dude would be amazing at baton twirling
That was fucking cool
How on earth are they making the canes the exact same thickness in the middle? One would think it would be a continuous taper from a thin middle.
Controlled cooling. When reheating and marvering repeatedly before pulling you're equalizing temperature through down to the core so it stretches precisely evenly. Also why Bill was wriggling it at the start in the straight cane one.
But also the ends near both pun ties do end up looking like pencil tips. Off a 30 foot pull with that much precision probably 27 or 28 feet was perfect. Because bills been doing it since the mid 80s I think. Maybe even earlier not sure.
Woaoooooo
Astounding craftmanship. Also nice filming and commentary. But that mans skills - I have wasted my life.
Thanks for watching!
It's been my dream to learn working with glass
You can learn to make glass right here at the Museum at The Studio: www.cmog.org/glassmaking/studio/classes. Thanks for watching!

Decent
wao
*centrifugal.
no gloves like a boss
it reminds me of candy when they stretchit like that
Who is reading the comments? Give credit....:) Great narration!
+lidia von Hi Lidia, We have a whole team here in Corning who respond to any questions in the comments about glass and glassmaking. Everyone from our glassmakers to librarians to curators will be called upon to chime in depending on the comment. Typically it's me, Mandy Kritzeck - Digital Media Producer, or Harry Seaman - Studio Facility Manager. If we have an answer directly from Bill Gudenrath, we credit him. Thanks for watching!
suparrrrrrrrr😊😊😊
remarverble
😂
suber.....
What type of kiln is that?
Jim, the kiln is something we built here specifically for heating small crucibles of colored glass. Is a small box of insulated bricks, backed by fiber, with a rolling lid. It has electric elements and is controlled by a small temperature controller.
he sounds like sheldon from big bang theory lol
Could boro be worked this way?
Good question! We asked Eric Goldschmidt, properties of glass programs supervisor at the Museum, this question and here is his response: "These same types of patterns and forms can be and are made in borosilicate glass. However, it would be extremely difficult to work borosilicate through this same process to achieve the same goal as the soda-lime glass that Bill is using. Borosilicate has a much higher melting temperature, and it does not stay soft for nearly as long as the soda-lime glass being used in the video. Therefore, it requires hotter furnaces, additional torches for heating at the bench, and a much faster working time for the creation. This is why objects like this in borosilicate are more commonly crafted on a torch rather than at the furnace." Thanks for watching!
But what did the final piece look like??

Does the sbruffo technique and stability to the bubble?
Hi Tony, here's Bill's answer:
Sbruffo-that, if you pronounce it properly, should draw a hearty “GESUNDHEIT!!!” from anyone nearby-indeed adds stability to the inflated glass.
In the case of large reticello platters, such as those famous ones in Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen (1708-9), if carried out on the inner/insert bubble (not the ‘cup’) leaves a ‘coating’ of clear glass on the top surface; it’s thus stronger and, perhaps, easier to clean.
In the case of the three-bubble vessel illustrated in the email below, sbruffo simply makes the glassblowing easier-thicker is easier, in glassblowing-and it leaves the object a little less fragile. Know, however, that the spectacularly fine group of late-17th-early-18th-century goblets-again, like examples at Rosenborg-are made solely of canes: no sbruffo! Many are of the very highest craftsmanship and difficulty…AND rather thin for filigranna (they’re always a bit thicker than solely clear-glass objects, that can be absurdly thin!). My theory du jour: sbruffo is glassblowing-acrobatics with a net; non-sbruffo without…What do you think?
Thanks so much for your question-and interest!
@@corningmuseumofglass Thank you, I'll have to try this sometime.
Beautiful glass, but I suppose glasses like that cost also a fortune?
😇......👌
Actually, it's centrifugal force, not centripetal at 5:19
Actually, it's centripetal, not centrifugal. Ask a physicist.
It’s definitely not centrifugal force, considering that’s not a thing that exists
Nope. The second half is expanding i.e. moving away from the centre of rotation, not the other way around. Hence, centrifugal.
"...the centrifugal force is an inertial force (also called a "fictitious" or "pseudo" force) directed away from the axis of rotation that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference."
@@tonciivanisevic9704 You are correct. Nomaad660 and Angela Hsiao are confused by their faulty understanding of physics.
It sounds like Sheldon
I suck and I just wanted to tell you, I won't be able to un-hear that now. 😂
Why would you do this?
I think it is Sheldon
IKR!!
But how do the molten glass end up with pretty colors? Is it the heat?🤔🤔
The metal oxides required to make different glass colors are added to the batch of the glass before it is melted. Thanks for watching!
When the glass is hot then the whole glass object colors red or orange. After cooling down you can see the colors that are used for the glass object.

I cringe every time the soffieta (?) is used, cuz it always makes the glass curve inwards which is just weird to me
2:33 , no ventilation for that bubble trash?
+Andrew L --Unlike some, Bill doesn't blow his bubble so thin they become airborne when he breaks them. If you look closely, the pieces break and fall right to the floor. in this case, no ventilation is required. Another clever way of avoiding airborne glass is to blow the bubble until it bursts inside the glory hole or furnace. It will instantly melt back on itself because of the heat - nothing to sweep up!
i thinking was soffietto ...
I go to a school that teaches this.
Take a class! You'll love it
Where are you guys located ?
+zack kcaz Hi Zack, we're in Corning, New York
You'd think this job requires really sharp tools
Well thats the funny thing about glass, when its super hot it turns into basically a clay consistency almost. And you can literally just cut it with a pair of scissors and mold it like you would a clay pot or something, its pretty neat!
@@midnight2600 dude it’s been 3 years
These videos end too abruptly :(

I've noticed from these videos that it seems to be a male dominated interest. Is that because of the weight involved?
Glassblowing is more male than female oriented, but these days not by much. Traditionally the heat, weights, general discomfort and most importantly the fact that it was a factory job, discouraged females from taking part or playing a large role. Currently, there are many females involved in furnace glassblowing and they are becoming more represented as the years pass and their skills grow.
I slept in the middle
Because it was so relaxing?
filthy
in a good way
