Catherine Ayers Guest Artist Demonstration (July 2019)

Watch Catherine Ayers create a glass man on the moon in this demo from the Amphitheater on July 25, 2019. See the final piece starting at 1:32:16
Making glass since 2001, Ayers’ whimsical and unique glass creations are always changing through her ongoing incorporation of different inspirations and techniques. Often including colorful patterns and funky shapes in her work, Ayers is constantly learning more and more about glass as a material.
The Guest Artist Series features world-class visiting artists at work in the Amphitheater Hot Shop. These special, extended demonstrations provide a fascinating peek at the techniques, artistry, and improvisation that comprise contemporary glassmaking. Our own Hot Glass Demo Team assists and narrates for each artist, answering audience questions in real time. Learn more at www.cmog.org/programs/guest-a...

Greet everyone in the studio. I've been watching you for months, and I admire and love your videos. The work of the masters glassmaker is admirable and fascinating. The work of cameramans, editor, cutter and commentators is on a high level. I hope I do not offend you when I write that I miss a short take on the face of the commentator at the beginning of the video, especially if it introduces itself.
Wish u the best. :-)

Would love to see Catherine make a variation - a "little prince" standing on his planet, inspired by the book of course.
