If you like Chihuly art, you’ll love this video.
my video of dale chihuly’s fantastical blown glass art, which he cleverly integrated into the lovely fairchild tropical botanical gardens in miami. the brilliantly colored, hand-blown glass sculptures actually look like they are a part of the natural surroundings. i organized the parts of the exhibit that i filmed into 10 exhibit areas, with names of the major pieces and series. enjoy 6 minutes of serene, beautiful art.
Mail this postThis is a good demonstration of how large pieces of hand blown glass art is made.
How hand-blown glass is made. Lee Miltier assisted by Chris Roscoe and Steve Nechodom. The temperature of the furnace is 1350 degrees Fahrenheit. (Until I realized I had a Gain feature on this camera and it was turned on, I thought the intensely bright-gold light from the glass being blown plus indoor/outdoor light difference threw the light of the camera out of balance and changed the true color of the heat in the furnaces and the molten glass from hot, blinding gold to soft green and white in the video. DUH.) So use your imagination about the color as you watch these amazingly skilled and experienced glass artists work in Berkeley, California, on July 30, 2009.
Mail this postI have become interested in art glass.
Art glass, and sculpture-like works of art rendered in the finest glass.
Who are some of the masters of this art,what are the titles of some of their works, and where are some of these works on view?
