Jason Christian has been perfecting his design for blown glass dragons. In this video we see Jason making a Red Dragon, out of cane and solid color bar. The dragon will eventually be one of a set mounted on a wall display.
Jason has his own studio in Seattle, Washington, but today he is working at Area 253 Glass in Tacoma, Washington. He is assisted by Chris Stenzel, Randy Walker and Nick Clawson.
Check out jasonchristianglassdesigns.com to see more of this amazing artist's work.
Thanks to Ian Lewis Photography for sharing the still image of the dragon in it's stand.
Was planning to skip just to see the end product. Decided to watch the first three minutes then realized I finished the whole vid. Didn't regret it.
Thanks for sticking with it. I'm glad it kept your interest.
Doing the same thing
@@GregOwen-gmanonfire From molten glass to end product, you would think it was magic without watching the intervening parts... incredible!

i did exactly the same.
I love how the commentator is deadly serious and professional and meanwhile the guys are casually talking about acid and stuff :D
Lol! Typical day at work. You should hear what I edited out. 😉
@@GregOwen-gmanonfire sounds like a dream job 😁
Im sure I heard a RIP Lemmy

My thoughts exactly 😂
it’s a medium to do art unlike anything else. flexible but not messy or crumbly. hot and dangerous but controllable. how the art is never done, and always malleable if you just heat it back up again. “a piece he brought from Seattle and had it reheated and attached.” it’s one of these incredible things humans do. humans once had the idea to super heat sand and mold it into sculptures to sell. it’s just incredible really.
Well said, great comment.🙂
I don't think that I should be able to work with molten glass, I wanna chew it, It looks like candy... Hot crystal candy...
Alien 0330 u spelled crystal wrong
I wanna stick my fingers in it
And then ill instantly regret my decision
Eat jolly ranchers then
Omg yess and just want to take a nice bite then chew it in my mouth because it looks so soft and Malleable.
am I the only one that feels compelled to grab hot molten glass? Looks like taffy!
Forbidden snack
This exact reason is why I should probably never try glassblowing.
You would not be compelled again.
No your not the onlyone I'm also stooped enough to put that in my mouth while its still hot and swallow it yummmmmm!!!
I had this itching feeling that the glass would stick to the table each time :P
it's content like this that gives value to youtube and the web in general. thank you for putting this up. it's always a pleasure to watch craftsmen ply their art. cheers
Good luck
@@josephjacob2219 lol wat
Especially after I down a couple of TidePods™ and just wanna chill and Zorp-Out to some quality content.
Completely agree
Imagine putting it in a window while the sun shines through it. It’s a beautiful work of art. Great job guys.
16:37 it’s called the, “glory hole!” 😂😂😂
I had to back that up to make sure he said what I thought he said, lol. They really ought to re-name that. Maybe put a sign over it saying "It's not THAT kind of gloryhole!" just for fun.
16:26 he was high on LSD
I love how the narrator just casually says it to
31:57
Best attempt at "How it's Made" while the factory guys talk about dropping acid. XD
Do u both have adhd cause i didn’t hear any of there convorsations
Fuego Kicks somewhere in the midde one guy says "and that guy dropped acid" or something like that
Fuego Kicks 16:25
felt like yelling SHUT THE F UP!
Actually, in Japan they work with candy in quite a similar way: kzhead.info/sun/YNBqqK-chJ13dKM/bejne.html
This is not an art work..it is a MASTERPIECE. 👌👌
its both lol
thanks for not adding an obnoxious muzak track under this process video, it's really good work, thanks for the cut!
Anybody else asking themselves how did he do this even though you watched him?
I’m still wrapping my head around how he saw it all in his head, step-by-step!
Always fans of dragon but knowing how hard to make this red dragon from glass, such a great experience and true artist, you all guys are the best...
Thank you very much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
"I am the powerful, the pleasurable, the indestructible Mushu!"
imagine accidentally dropping the glass dragon after its done and cooled down
Good work, guys..
that's exactly what I said
Dragon: *YEET *
Imagine dragons
I imagine it’s a rite of passage...your first drop...can only imagine the heartbreak
It’s mainly when you watch a video like this that you start to really appreciate the art of glass smithing
The narration adds so much to the video!
I'm glad you find it helpful! Thanks for your feedback.
The background convos add even more though!😂
Who else watched the whole video?
Who else didn't watch the whole video?
Who watched the first and last quarter of the video?
Who watched the first, second and last quarter of the video?
Who didn't watch the video?
@@outsidethepyramid i played the video but i didn watch it
I wanna see the whole collection of dragons displayed. These are talented artists!
“Inside will be the teeth, and outside will be the lips” -9:25, yeah I hope so
Now that's what you call TALENT AND SKILL .amazing . How can you be so tough with something so fragile.
Bravo! Jason's team flows like the wind against the water! This is not easy people. It's heavy, hot and constantly moving. These guys make it look easy. The teams calmness and flow are amazing. To me the art is dance. What is left is a souvenir, a testament of the teamwork. Its beauty is a direct reflection of the intensity and difficulty of the steps, and its value a tribute to the workmanship of the artists.
Who else listened more to what the guys were saying in the background
Absolutely haha
Ya I rather listen to there conversation than the fucking Narrator
I couldn't, the voices weren't clear.
This is insane! Blows away any glass vid I've seen. It's a true sculpture. The amount of work just leaves me gobsmacked.
i love how easily all of them work together!! its really admirable teamwork
If this is not skills, I don't know what is! This masterpiece better be worth thousands!!!
21:52 this dude really just sitting here holding a full flame thrower
i don't know how the guy in front of him feels safe, if i were him i would never trust anyone. he could literally kill him with that flamethrower
not a flame thrower
@Pbperez 210 blow torch, whatever you guys know what I mean
Me: umm yes, very nice...now we’re making it into a bong.
JoeRyMi ikr, all that work and you can’t even rip a dab or bowl through it lol still very beautiful and impressive!
Pretty much haha
More like an opium pipe so you could chase the dragon....
The absolute skill needed to craft this is immense, and these guys definitely have it. A masterpiece if I've ever seen one.
11:52-12:00: anyone else notice the flames shooting out of the dragons nostrils? WICKED!!!
I didn't even notice that. That is pretty awesome!
I noticed
That would be a blowtorch lol
CARL BRAGANZA Yes I have noticed them, it’s the torch from the far background. Did look crazy for a few seconds.
Yup 🐲
That is amazing! I love the rich color. Wow!
I love watching the glass workers all work in co-ordination. Very skilled and their team work is as impressive as the art. The narrator is awesome with how matter of fact he is.
first off. got to work with Jason in a class once. super awesome guy. got to help make a dragon out of clear glass and gold leaf. Second, yes its a glory hole. I swear every glass blower has a dirty mind haha. And glory hole is the correct technical term.
1 month later I decide that I love your comment !
Would you make a video showcasing your glass dragons ? I am really curious
Nicole - did y'all use the gold leaf to gild the entire dragon, or for accents, pinstripes, for the scales, or...?
Glory holes hahahha
With a name like that you can tell glass blowing is a male dominated industry
I work in IT and sometimes I do stuff and people go like, how the hell did you do that. You're so talented and amazing. Then I watch things like this and that praise just feels hollow! Because this is another level of amazing.
Even though I do not like the end result I still find this so cool
Absolute masterpiece of glass art ... Thanks 4 sharing !
So everyone's Jason?😂
Everyone is Negan
@@Pilzi02 ur mom gay
Beautiful, and what teamwork! Thanks for bringing this beauty into the world!
Thank you for watching
This was amazing. I couldn't stop watching. Thanks for sharing.
Having watched glass blowers in Germany as a kid I appreciate the work it takes to do this kind of work. What a wonderful creation.
This is really neat seeing a large glass sculpture coming together as several different pieces.
I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT DOES IT COME IN BLUE?
Yes
@@GregOwen-gmanonfire (sorry for the fangirl comment... it was late at night and I didn't read description. will do now thank you)
I'm a dragon by birth. I believe a water dragon. I've was lucky enough to have been in the right place at the right time to buy a very elaborate iron dragon.
@The Guru of Kang Uncultured people, am I right?
@@SkeleCCXL if they want to be a dragon, they can be a dragon!
This is a hell of an art. Unbelievable that you guys can do this stuff
Amazing to watch the process and see just how much work goes into one piece. Makes you appreciate glass work so much more.
I never gave thought to how objects like those were made. Simply by looking at them you can't possibly know all the work that was taken into making such a fine piece of art. I loved watching this video. Complete respect to those guys for making such a fine piece of art. I just wish I could know where to get one like that myself.
I'm glad you appreciated seeing the process. Thanks for watching. The pieces are available for purchase from www.jasonchristianglassdesigns.com/
@@GregOwen-gmanonfire I have visited the page and I cant find the prices or a way to purchase the products, any way you could help? Thanks.

It was amazing to watch this process. I checked his site....all of his work is phenomenal.
That is some amazing talent right there!
Ever since i visited the Corning Museum of Glass when i was a kid I have been in love with glass artworks and sculptures so seeing something as cool as this being made really enlightens me.
People like Jason and the crew are true artists who deserve to be famous
Excellent in every way. The narration was refreshingly useful compared to a lot of other demo videos I've seen.
David Rodgers I'm glad you appreciate the narration. I used to emcee at Museum of Glass, so I've had some practice, but I don't want it to detract from the action of the video.
Absolutely incredible. I found myself rewinding the end a few times so I could admire it more. I’d have loved to see this with wrings too.
I'm glad you liked it! He has made them with wings. We'll try to do another in in the coming year.
Their background conversation between the narration moments is everything 😂😂😂. Great work love the art 💖💖💖💖
A true master makes it look easy.
Long video, but could not stop watching ! The skill of all was incredible.... Well well well done .
This is so impressive, the level of teamwork, the sheer skill, and the amazing detail are just incredible
Not only a great documentary, but also a highly instructional video. Great job guys.
That was spectacular. These guys are mind blowing.
Wonderful talents working together to create a beautiful sculpture.
Absolutely stunning! I love watching glass sculpting. It's just so mesmerizing. What's even better, is the eye candy, who was making the dragon. 😜
the fire in the background at 11:55 give the illusion of the dragon blowing fire out of its nose
What a beautiful work of art! Truly gifted craftmen!
I enjoyed watching every single second of this video. This is more than just art
Only very insane people Can melt some stuff in a fire And create something so fragile Beautiful ...powerful ...which expresses The creative instinct of the human savage
Passion, team work, artistry and great technical acumen ! Great creativity !!
I think it is great the way you guys work together ! There isn't anything better than the person whom one is doing something with knowing just whatever is needed at anytime ! Well done ! Great to watch !!
Thank you for the great video and commentary. My daughter and I really enjoyed watching this,
Extremely awesome stuff!! I took 2 semesters of glass blowing in college and that is impressive af!! Can't wait to see the rest of them!!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
@Cross Hatch You could try lampwork.
Thats some incredreible work! Simply wow. Fascinating too watch how you manipulate the glass.
Wow that's incredible talent... imagine how amazing of a bong they could make!!
Beyond Beautiful.
Although I could never afford this beautifully created dragon, I can appreciate the shear skill involved. Thank you for sharing this and giving someone like me the chance to see such an amazing, TRULY AMAZING, piece of art!
Fantastic !! Watched the whole thing. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful artistry. Please keep sharing your videos.
I kept thinking "Someone sat next to these guys in school thinking they were just the kids that bent the crayons out of shape." Masters, all of them.
Simply gorgeous and fascinating! Our mall used to get out of town glass blowers and sculptures in during the holiday season and I would stand and watch them for hours. I always wished there had been someway to get into this but we are too small townish :(.
This is amazing I first watched this months ago but found myself watching it again. I really want one of those dragons.
It’s absolutely beautiful. I have a collection of dragons, but not one hand made of glass. You are all amazingly talented. Thank you
You make an extremely complex build look so easy. Thanks a million!!
Thanks for watching.
Quite cool! Also love the narration
Thanks for your feedback!
So absorbing to watch this craftsman create such a beautiful piece of art, but well done to all the group too.
Absolutely amazing 😀,I love this dragon. What a privilege to be able to watch him come to life . ❤
That was worth every minute, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing this. It was absolutely amazing to watch! Hugs and happiness, Bre C. 💜💜💜
So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks very much for the posive comments, 🙏
AMAZING! For us who had no idea what it takes to create such amazing art in glass... I am humbled.
Just incredible art glass blower! All did a great job!
Three things here: 1.) It looks the most bad ass when it’s in the glory hole heated and looks almost like a negative/inverted color filter 2.) the inner kid in me giggled when he said it’s called a glory hole and every time he said it 3.) this was awesome
Not even interested in glass, but this was on my recommendation. I ended up watching entire video.
Absolutely Brilliant!!! Watching this was so intense. What a Privilege... Thank you
That was pretty damn awesome . It must take a hell of a lot of trust to be part of that ...and second chances must be very few . Thank You Greg Owen
I absolutely adore dragons. 'Realistic' ones like this. I have a dragon tattoo on my inner forearm. He's Smaug from Lord of the Rings. I got it when I was around 50yrs old. My son financed it for my Mother's Day present. This red dragon is such quality and perfection. Congratulations to everyone who helped accomplish this wonderful piece. I just wish it was mine ❤️
Super amazing! I can't imagine the energy it has taken to create this piece! Congratulates to your team!!!
Jaw-droppingly stunning!
Incredible Creativity! ❤❤❤Glass is such an enigma
I just wonder how many hours you get that smooth team work against one error. Is it like once in a thousand man hours someone drops the thing... "I thought you was holding it..." or hit someone with the hot glass or tool...
Accident definitely do happen, but glassblowers have a saying " it's not what you can make, it's what you can fix" that is the test of a true artist. Thanks for watching.
@@GregOwen-gmanonfire - I'd like to learn some basic repairs... I have a Loetz "Etrusk" vase with a clear handle that snapped off, and some other things that could use some help. I have the email addy for the lab glassblower at GA Tech here in ATL but haven't contacted her yet. Could be problematic as I have severe neuropathy... might have to pay for the repairs.
@@Hippiekinkster Sorry to hear about your pain
I was impressed they don’t all have burns on their arms. Their fluid teamwork is great to watch.
I Love this, I would love to get one of these. Brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 love dragons
imagen buying it and then drooping it. reason 1 why id would not feel save living near that thing, knowing what it takes to make one, it would kill me if i scratched that ting the slightest XD
I have no idea how this video worked its way into my feed, but holy crap is that a work of art!
Amazing skills on display Bravo guys!! 👌🏽
Nice rendition of the classic Asian Dragon 👍👍
Magnificent!!! ❤💖❤
It's great we had Capt. Obvious narrating the video for us.
Simply elegant & beautiful!
