Bring the Heat: George Kennard makes an incalmo glass vase live
Watch Master Glassmaker George Kennard create a decorative vase inspired by the flameworked glass of Kurt Wallstab. Using the incalmo technique, Kennard will combine various patterned and colored bubbles to create a piece drawing from the styling of Wallstab’s famous “Montage” works.
See the final piece starting at 1:57:57.
In our new live demo series, Bring the Heat, join us for a live stream of glass artists demonstrating their expertise and skillful execution while “in the zone.” During each demo, an artist will present a personal design they’ve worked to perfect, and they will be live on the mic to narrate as they work-a rarity for live artist demonstrations and a first at the Museum.

Always loved hand blown glass...and now realize and appreciate how much is involved in making a piece of Art.
I don’t know why, but, each time we see the view from the back of the furnace towards the bunghole, I expect a looney tunes cartoon to start.
Tha-tha-tha-that's glass folks!
Back in 1992 we lived in Cortland NY. We brought our 2 1/2 yr old there to Corning Museum💙HE WAS FASCINATED🔮He has been a glass blower now for about 7 yrs. His color combos 🌈are beautiful. ~THANK YOU for sharing this video🙂
Wow, that is so incredible, thanks for watching and for sharing your story!
I had to work in Cortland for a year. Nice people there.

Did glass blowing in Highschool and this just blows me away, the coordination bewteen everyone, the concentration and pace, just everything. Theres very little room for mistake and these look beautiful
Only an artist can appreciate more the hard work of an artist .
This is purely Mastery, i commend the initiators and the whole team. The bonding and team work is top notch. Love to you all.
Thanks for watching!
บน😊ถ😢😢กำพ:กพ 😅
That is just truly bloody beautiful guys! Accidentally started watching the presentation thinking it was something else and ended up watching the whole two hours. Amazing stuff and amazing team work and craftsmanship!
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for more in the upcoming months!
As a pipe maker and Boro worker I appreciate the soft glass approach to the wig wag!
If you're in Cali I collect pieces
I think the first boro pipe makers got the trick from a soft glass artist named Kurt Walstab from back in the 1950s.
I love how the cane lines are floating on the surface and casting shadows onto the foundation. Lovely work.

I love that you guys found a way to keep these demos going in a manner as safe as possible. The adjustment of the cameras and gear looks pretty well thought of too.
Thanks for watching, Jean!
Pointless health theater to appease mid wits that take cdc guidelines as infallible gospel
@@BTCNSDAP aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/
@@BTCNSDAP Shut up and go get your shots like a big boy. We're trying to watch the creation of something beautiful, not listen to your ignorant pontifications.
I had no idea how much time & skill went into making a piece like this. It’s stunning! Impressive work, guys!
Thanks for watching, Rikki!
I love this. When I was a child my parents took us to Corning in Rochester NY. I loved it as a 7 year old and still do. That was in the late 60’s early 70’s. How time flies. Nice work.
That is a fantastic piece of incalmo. It was marvelous to be able to hear George talking through the working of the vessel.
Thanks for watching!
Breathtaking. I really enjoyed being able to hear from the artist during the making.
Thanks for watching!
There’s a series on Netflix called Blown Away, all about glass blowing. It’s very interesting and you can see them create many beautiful objects.
The little taps to break it off the pipes etc just amaze me. Its always super smoothly done!
George thanks for letting us watch you work. I was feeling the heat just sitting here great job too you and the team
Glad you enjoyed it
******I've never ever imagined that those ending fractals are product of so much work - heating, spinning, cutting, connecting, heating, spinning, cutting, connecting, etc. Wow! That's such a preciously useful set of soul, knowledge and skills, needed to create that piece of art! Thanks for showing us this amazing process.
You gentlemen are amazing. The precision that you two put the pieces together is incredible. You have a thumbs up from me.
The photos of it finished are beautiful. Love the blue and purple. SPECTACULAR.
Amazing. The best glass blower I ever saw is from Kentucky. Ken Criswell does AMAZING things with glass and design. Unreal what he does...
I am just in awe of the craftmanship. The process is fascinating, its just beautiful art.
Thanks for watching!
I was floored and glued to my screen for the entire making. Breathtaking. Amazing mind-blowing is the word I presume.
Thanks for watching!
20 years on the torch....this reversal work is the bees knees love it....
Thanks for watching!
All I can say is WOW. What a great team and the result is a master piece.
Thanks for watching, Mike!
Absolutely stunning. Glass blowing has always fascinated me.
Have you seen the series "Blown Away"? You can find it on netflix, really awesome
Thanks for watching!
@@Rehnman1994 I haven’t. I’ll have to watch it.
This to me is true genius, the combination of art, science and magic to create something truly beautiful and unique
In the words of my artist wife… “absolutely stunningly beautiful!” Well done!
They seem relaxed and mellow, so why do I find this nerve-wracking? ☺️
GOOD TO SEE GEORGE BACK IN ACTION AGAIN !
Thanks for watching!
Every time I watch one of these, that in-oven cam footage just blows me away. Whoever made that happen is a genius, and I'm drinking to his or her health.
Right? That footage is always so stunning. You can learn more about how the furnace cam came to be in this blog post: blog.cmog.org/2016/12/12/the-view-from-inside-the-furnace/. Thanks for watching!
@@corningmuseumofglass That's really helpful, thanks for the link.
@@corningmuseumofglass Incredible! I used to work at a glass blowing studio in Louisiana in the 90's. It was so interesting! I never learned to blow glass, but I learn a lot about HOW it is done. Still, until today, I had no idea fused silica could withstand such heat. And what a neat way to film this for us. Thank you!
yeah i was amazed too... such wizardry
yes By far the most visually pleasing moments in this video. Something out of 2001 "A Space Oddity".
FANTASIC !! WOW WOW! Salute to this Artistry.
I always enjoy myself at this museum. I made a glass flower the last time I visited. It was awesome.
So glad you love to visit, thanks for watching!
I spent 20 years creating an interior home wall finish that like this process you could not tell what it looked like until 2 days after the process. It changed looks as it dried. I always wanted to Time Lapse the drying but I never found a camera 30 years ago that would allow me to do that. Love seeing things as they develop and especially those things that are out of your control. Thank you for sharing, this beautiful art work.
What was it that you did for your wall? I'm super curious to know what could've take 20 years! :)
Absolutely captivating! Thank you for allowing us to forget the ills of humanity if only for a few hours.
Just spent 2hrs mesmerized, staring at my small screen...loved it
Absolutely amazing 👏
get a bigger screen for next time.
Such a beautiful piece of glassware. The pattern is just stunning.
Thanks for watching!
I had no idea how much time and effort went into creating one of these awesomely beautiful pieces. How I wish I could get one. I just absolutely love colored and or shaped glass.
Love the Artist/Designer/Teaching aspect of this demonstration.....been watching this channel for awhile...today enjoying having the 'Master" explain what, why and how of the process...thanks...
I know this hot, hard work, but I find it almost hypnotic to watch and am amazed by the final product. You are true artists. Thank you for bringing beauty, talent, and creative vision to life.
That's beautiful. Thank you for letting us watch the process.
Thanks for watching!
I've been to the Corning Museum, it's spectacular! I have taken glass classes in Corning, mostly warm glass processes. This is a beautifully filmed segment, very instructional, and George Kennard is the master! Bravo! I loved seeing this!
Thank you so much for visiting, taking classes, and watching our channel! George is the best.
I've been there too. It was a major journey, as I live on the other side of the world. I'm so pleased we stopped there. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. My husband went to a workshop demonstration while I went to the museum. Seeing all the venetian glass and hanging lamps in the glass showcase, will stay with me forever. Thankyou so much for an awesome collection. And the glass dress! Oh my that surely would stop traffic

This is fantastic. I've even almost forgot the world has gone mad.
Except for those stupid face masks. Humanity will laugh about this nonsense for the next 200 years.
I did and even forgot about my hip surgery thanks for 2 peaceful hours
@@diekritischestimme Most of us are already laughing at antimaskers buddy
Wow! Magical. The technique and the artistry, absolutely sublime.
Thanks for watching!
So mesmerizing. Beautiful and so INCREDIBLY complex
What incredible talent and artistry. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
My favourite forms of art are turned wood, specifically burl pieces, and artisanal glass. I have zero knowledge of either area, but I know of all the forms I have seen around the world, these two speak to me so loudly I cannot ignore their siren call. Thanks for this lovely video!
Thanks for watching!
Yes, watching these kinds of videos ( wood-turning and glass-blowing ) is very therapeutic to me. Just so beautiful, satisfying and soothing, though I know nothing about these arts. There's something about it.
The Craftsmanship is amazing ! Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for watching, Hanns!
I always loved watching the glass blowing. I collected Fenton glass back in the 70's. I watched many the experts make the glass alone.
Absolutely gorgeous. I was mesmerized watching this being made. Those boys work well together too they seem to work like an operating theatre in a hospital. Teamwork. Thanks guys for allowing us to watch. And I hope you do get to Australia now Covids on the decline. 🤠🤠🤠
First time seeing something this intricate. I've seen glass being blown before, but nothing like this. It's a masterpiece you and your team created here.
Wow!! Impressive! Thank you, Corning Museum of Glass et al.
Watched the whole process! Truly amazing work! I apprenticed with two different glass workers. Both have since passed away. William Porter from Anaheim in the 80s with his company neo Renaissance Glass and David Hartman here on Kauai. Both were incredible artists as well. I really miss both blowing and doing solid pieces.... thanks for the video! Look forward to watching all your old ones and the ones to come.
Thanks for watching!
I be k. Vvv
是啊!~
i love how they do this so magical
Thanks for watching!
That's the most amazing thing I've ever seen done... I've sat here for 2hrs an enjoyed every minute..... Just a stunning piece!¡✌🏻💗😊❣️
Thanks for watching, Donna!
Magnificent and extraordinary! I have never seen any glassblowing this complicated in design as well as beauty. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent narrator also keeps us interested also thank you
My jaw stays glued to the floor. Incredible piecework. Thank you.
Auto-blower, thought it was so smart to reduce moving around then heard you say it was to minimize germ spreading ! Brilliant, a two-fer! This is such a treat to watch this incredibly complex creation, the dance of team members, great art is mostly hard work, and the master handling of the molten glass (mesmerizing). Thank you so much to everyone for making this available. The last 20 minutes, nah the whole vid is a nail biter though.
Z,,,,
I think that's the most amazing display of artistry I've EVER seen! Thank you for sharing this! WOW is such a small word, but WOW WOW! Y'all stay healthy and safe!
Thanks for watching!
As a boro lampworker I can really appreciate the size of this massive wigwag. Two very different yet similar worlds and experiences of glass work. Absolutely beautiful
I love that we can hear the sounds of the glassworking as it happens, makes it more engrossing and intimate as an internet audience. Would have liked closer shots of rolling and blowing the cup, was harrd to make out. Love this technique, beautiful.
Thanks for watching!
Hypnotic, and soothing to watch... Just my go-to to relax for a bit from being swamped with work. Amazing work... ❤️
How on earth did they do that? And that camera to see the inside of the oven is out of this world. Wow!
Thanks for watching, Linda!
I love this museum. You learn so much about glass work. Thankyou for airing this like you do.
I love these videos so much! Thank you for sharing these wonderful artists and their work.
Thanks for watching!
Fascinating! I am so happy I found this on accident! What a craft you have! Thank you for something uplifting, rewarding and peaceful in a chaotic world! I 👍🏻 SUBSCRIBED, and smashed that🔔!
Fantastic! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Wow! Loved watching this video, from Calgary Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
I love that little flower lip on it, I wish it would have stayed. Fantastic any way!
It's nice to hear the artist himself explaining what's going on as it happens. I wish there was a place close by where I could learn to do this
There are open access studios all over the world! You can google your area plus glassblowing studio and usually find something. Thanks for watching!
One of the most fascinating videos I've watched in a long time
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful....and so relaxing to watch on a Saturday morning !!
Thanks for watching!
Totally totally Awesome. Thank you All. For for showing us your beautiful talent. I appreciate it so much!!! Look forward to seeing more of your Art work!!!
Excellent work of art, imagination and well executed teamwork 👏👏👍👏👍👏
This episode of the great British bake off is INTENSE.
I'm stoned too.
@@atrillatheyoung9244 ha same!
it looks like it came from another planet, spectacular!
Absolutely beautiful. George is clearly a master of his craft.
I collect antique glass vases and it is so interesting to see the process in the making you are an artist
I spent all afternoon watching this channel yesterday, and some amazing artists!
Thanks for watching, Paula!
Stunning work George
The are my colors, this is magnificent and the pattern of the wig wag is so beautiful. I wish I could buy one. Oh my gosh this is the prettiest vessel I've seen. Bravo, and Congratulations on such an original design.
Thanks for watching!
I would love a solar system made with this design 🥰 so beautiful 😍😍😍
Was just thinking how cool a glass globe would be, and this would probably be the man you'd want making it
Never knew this is how it's done 👍🏼 excellent work
I loved seeing this as a child when we visited the plant. I still love my corningware. I wish they still made it. The glass they did there was awsome. I am happy that you are keeping this beautiful art alive.
Bravo Master and Team!
Incredible artistry. Thank you.
I'm stunned! It's just a masterpiece! I never would have thought it was possible if I hadn't watched this video. It always seemed to me that such beauty is made on a conveyor simply by pouring multi-colored glass into molds. But I did not know how difficult and amazing the process is!
The colors coming out after the "dip" are.... Beautiful..thanks for the presentation
I find very few things more calming than watching highly skilled workers at their craft. In the Uk I used to regularly visit glassworks to watch. My favourite was always Langham Glass in Norfolk, UK.
Great vid, Great visuals, Great filming👍
Incredible skills and mastery. One can only marvel at the art that was created. Thank you for letting us watch you create such a wonderful piece of work.
Very relaxing and satisfying to watch The Master at his work. Thanx and take care guys!
Thanks for watching!
I cannot help but admire the patience that is required.
Amazing! This channel came up in my feed and I am glad it did! I will be watching more. Great job to the whole crew.
This demo was awesome! Learned alot and even made a new pendant with this patchwork wigwag design
Thanks for watching!
This is why Blown Away deserved more seasons.
New season coming next year ❤
I just loved to watch you make that. First time I have seen this craft.
Good morning, love Georgio especially his laughter!
Thanks for watching!
Always amazing to watch. This ones final product truely beautiful. 👍 👍
Thanks for watching!
真好,我第一次看到玻璃加工,还是高级的艺术品。
