- I'm James Parker, a sculpture artist sculpting a glass egg by shaping and stacking broken glass. Follow me into my workshop to see how I got on.
The UA-cam video which precedes this one covers cutting glass circles and curves for this glass sculpture - A GLASS EGG for EASTER 2020. I discuss the theory and give a practical demonstration as I prepare for my latest glass art project.... This is the link... • MAKING a DRAGON EGG fo...
Welcome to my UA-cam channel. I work in a variety of mediums including slate, bronze, stone, wood, metal and glass. Checkout my other videos!
This is part two of the process where I discuss what's involved and how I came to work with glass as a medium in my career as a professional artist. The plan is to have the sculpture completed in time for Easter Sunday 2020 (next week!).
This sculpture will be made over the course of a week, during which time I'll aim to put a few videos out...this is part 2.

Everyone has taken all the adjectives I wanted to use about this piece of art,! I will say it strikes me with the same beauty of the blue ice in glaciers. You’re an artist obviously, but what struck me watching you create this is what a genius you are too. The way your mind clicks - amazing.
You're very kind with your words as always. Thank you. Sometimes I wish my mind would go on holiday for a while. 😂
Yep, could watch you all day !!! 🤣🌺😎
Take care. !!! 🙂
Doesn't matter. Only the Queen of England can afford these pieces.
Hey James for the next time you can use kerosene on your cut and after you tap make one relief cut tap that then you use a blow torch around the circle and watch the glass separate on its on try it...
@@edgargenius7957 You can also just beat it with a hammer. I'm still waiting for the Chinese sellers on Ebay to get into the fine art market. Anything you can do they can do for cheap.
... it seems your viewers would like you to build a glass hoof for some reason ... its best to give them what they want 😀
😂😂😂 Who are you. Stop telling people you're my brother 😂😂😉
@@jamesparkersculpture Thank you for the laugh. 😁
@Kendra VanBurkleoDon't encourage him Kendra 😂
You know it's always wise to treat the people who refer you business.. like the hoof GP lol
That's why I'm here.
The egg looks like it is an ice blue diamond, it sparkles beautifully when the light hits it. It's just a beautiful piece!
Thanks Mary. It does have an incredible quality.
I thought faberge what I first saw the piece. Wow.
The egg is AMAZING. The only thing that would be cooler then that egg.....would be a cow hoof, and then give it to your brother Graeme!
Yup
Agreed! Awesome work!
You betcha James. Surprise Graeme! 😎👍🏻
😅😅😅😅holly that made me chukkle
Thank you. He cracks me up! 😂
wow! i am so glad you did one of glass! i am so glad your brother sent me to you
Thanks Tammie. Delighted you enjoyed it!
Same here!
Absolutely love the iridescence, would really like to see it in the daylight when you have a sunny day. X
🤣🤣🤣he's in Scotland a sunny day might happen once or twice a year
I'll get some better photos when time/weather permits.
I love the egg. It looks like it's got jewels glittering inside it.
Thank you. The glass does have an incredible quality about it.
That’s so pretty! I found this vid through the hoof gp, such a talented family you guys have! You should sculpt a glass cow hoof for your bro!!
Ditto!
Thanks Ashleigh!
Same
This was so calming to watch, I can only imagine the views in person I'm sure the camera doesn't do it justice. Your next piece should be a cow hoof for Graeme this way he can stop pestering you and his viewers haha.
Thanks Heather!
Please build The Hoof GP a glass cow hoof sculpture - would love to watch that video! 🙏🙏🙏
I agree!
Why a hoof????
All the pieces are straight off to Buckingham. That's the only place that can afford them.
You do beautiful work!
I can only imagine the glass sculpture of a cow's hoof, your making for your brother, is going to be beautiful!
Thank you for the kind words about my work, much appreciated!
Absolutely stunning! I love your work!
Thanks Cindy
I love it James😃 so beautiful.
Thanks Robyn
Это просто завораживающее зрелище . Так все хорошо получается . Я смотрела ролики , и шила апликацию , когда увидела твой ролик работу свою отложила и стала смотреть как ты работаешь . Как стеклорез ходит по кругу , как как правильно откалываются заготовки . Так всё чётко . Не то что у меня нитка возьмёт и закрутился . А ещё я пыталась вырезать стекло по прямой линии , и оно у меня ровно не откололось . Вот так .завтра обязательно посмотрю ещё одну твою работу сегодня уже поздно , утром рано вставать на работу . Успехов .
I can imagine this in the corner of a dimly lit room like a den or study. With a subtle L. E. D. In the base filling it with soft light from with in. Could even change colors if you like that kind of thing.
But in my vision nothing to bright. Just want it to shine and light up all those cracks!
Beautiful piece of work James!
Thank you Scott. I've left a hole in the base for that reason. I'll show you it if I get time to get something rigged up. I think your right....it would have to be subtle.
WOW...this is amazing James. You have a great imagination. Brilliant bro.
Thanks Davey. Much appreciated!
Absolutely marvelous. You are very talented. Thanks for the video!
....and you are very kind! Thsnk you.
I love the way the edges glitter like diamonds. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much Cindy. I'm delighted you enjoyed it. The effect on the edge of the glass is quite something.
Wow! What a talented family the Parker's are! Completely impressed. Beautiful. BTW Graeme wants a cow's hoof. 🐄😁
Beautiful James as always. So lovely to watch you bring it all together, and the tremendous amount of work it involves. Amazing!!
Thanks Carol. It's amazing how the smaller pieces take so long. The smallest detail makes such a big difference.
Your very welcome James. It's the little things that makes the biggest difference! It's a without a doubt a beautiful sculpture you've created and when the light hits it, I'm sure it will look magnificent. A true work of art! Thank you for sharing with us.
This is absolutely gorgeous; like everyone else, I want to see the sun shine through this egg on a beautifully sunny day. Looking at it makes me very happy.
Hi Claire. I'll definitely get some better photos when time and weather allows. Thanks
James! Out of sight!
So amazing.
🤗👍🏻🌻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🌷
Hope you and yours are well.
I don’t know what you charge. All I know is you deserve more.
Really kind as always Susan. Thank you. All good here. Still in a kind if lockdown. We can go to work ( if you can't work from home), make trips out for medicine and to get food. Wonder where it will end.

The doctors here in the US say the numbers will be the guide.
Grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants, take out or drive through only, are all that’s really open.
Can’t go to hospital unless you call first.
I personally watch what’s going on in Italy. I can’t depend on China😶
When life as we knew it starts up, it’ll have to be gradual.
Be safe🤗
You too Susan. Take care
Watching Graeme live but said I take a break and give you look...Great vid back over to hoof Gp
Thanks very much. I've missed Graeme's 'live'. Will catch it later!
I’ve only ever watched glass blowing, but this type of sculpture is fascinating!
I’m so happy to see you wearing a respirator to protect your lungs from glass dust 😷
Many thanks for your kind words, much appreciated!
We need the cows hoof😂
😂
Oh wow!! It looks amazing!!
Well done James!
🥚🥚🥚
Thank you. That's kind of you.
Your brother sent me here. I’m so glad he did. He was wondering if you could making him a glass hoof sculpture!
While that is true, your work is amazing. It looked like the edges were still jagged even though they’re not. So beautiful.
Thanks Sally
I was sent here from your brother and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm an artist myself. I was watching his hoof trimming from the perspective of seeing a completely foreign industry to me. But this is perfectly up my wheelhouse so I am overjoyed to dive into all of your videos.
Thanks so much for your support Sharona! Hope you enjoy the videos.
What a beautiful piece! Great talent, man! Please consider doing a cow’s hoof for an upcoming protect. 😉
The Hoof GP brought me to your channel I’m happy he did I really loved ur video it was very cool how u made that egg 🥚 never seen artwork like that before very beautiful
Thanks so much for your support!
Wow! Just WOW! That is beautiful. So simple, but yet so many layers. I could watch you work all day long. Stay safe. Happy Easter 🐇
Thanks Kim. Same to you.
Absolutely amazing, you have one hell of a skill James one new subscriber but I think you need to do a GLASS COW HOOF Sculpture.
Or should I say your brother does 😂
Thanks so much for your support and subscribing!
So beautiful. So glad you showed us this, such a lot of work. The end result is just gorgeous. Stay safe Mister Sculpture man.
Thanks Esme. You too!
Hi James. I thought you couldn’t pick a more beautiful material with which to construct your sculptures than slate. But then you produce this! Absolutely stunning! Thank you for showing us.
My pleasure. Thank you!
Always love to see your work. Also, I heard your next peice will be a glass cows hoof?
😂😂😂
Gorgeous! You are to talented. I can’t believe how beautiful. I’m glad your brother sent me over.
Thanks for your support and kind words Beth!
It's beautiful James, I can't wait to see what you do next. ❤
Thanks Shirley!
Came for the interesting sculpture, stayed for the great accent and incredible craftsmanship
Thanks Kira! Hopefully you didnt require the subtitles 😉
Beautifull intro!
Georgeous egg 😍😍
I'd love to have one in my house 🌸♥️
Thanks Imca. I hope all is well in the Netherlands
So glad The Hoof GP sent me over. The egg is beautiful. You do great work.
Thanks Stephanie. That's very kind of you.
Absolutely amazing. Use of the glass to manipulate light. So cool. I’ll bet a cow’s hoof would be even cooler 😉. I’ll bet you could easily think of some deserving soul to give it too.
Glad you like the sculpture Brendan, thanks for your support!
13th ! My lucky number 😊😊😊 . ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦☕️☕️
You take tinkeritis to a whole 'nother level. Just stunning.
Thanks. I'm always curious.
Fantastic just fantastic love the egg my wife says to me can you make me one ha ha 🤣😂🤣😂. Fantastic job well done James.👍🇬🇧🍺🤘
Thank very much Garry. It took longer than expected. I was slightly concerned I was going to run out of glass. You need to send a photo of yours when complete!!
Tonight I broke my laptop, spilled water on it without realising. So I came to my phone, and found you! Your work is amazing man! Beautiful! I have subscribed. Thank you for sharing your talent xx
Sorry to hear about your laptop!
Delighted you found me and glad you like my work. Great to have you aboard. Thanks!
Wow! I thought your other sculptures were amazing, but this truly is my favorite! I'll be sharing this! Happy Easter from Idaho, USA!
Thanks Melanie. Delighted you enjoyed it!
Absolutely breathtaking. Well done James.
Wow never seen that done before, simply freaking gorgeous!!! So now that’s it’s finished you can build Graeme a GLASS HOOF 😂😂🤓👍 Fantastic Art James!
Thank you!
That is truly a beautiful thing and the little peek at the process was quite fascinatin' as well. Good show! Oooohh yeah...I nearly forgot...some cow podiatrist (or something) was wantin' a glass slipper for a heifer. It was something like that, I'm certain that somebody will come along with the proper details. Heh, heh, heh.
Thank you 😂
Gorgeous! I'd love to see how you glue or whatever you do to keep it together. Really interesting to watch, thank you!
Thanks Laura. Top secret I'm afraid 😉
@@jamesparkersculpture I kinda figured but worth asking 😁
I think that is stunning . I am just an old farmer but I love watching you make your art can't stop watching..
Thanks very much Kyle delighted you're enjoying it!
You have an amazing talent!! Wow, so happy the Hoof GP sent me over here! I am now subscribed! Oh yes, will you please make him a cow's hoof? Haha! Very talented set of brothers!! Stay safe and well all!
Delighted to have you on board! Not so sure about the rest of it 😉
Congratulations James, such a beautiful work of Art from everyday glass, ingenious!
Absolutely beautiful. So talented. Happy Easter James.
Thanks Cathy. Same to you
It’s beautiful! I love your work.
Thanks Stephanie. I'm really grateful for all the support.
it’s absolutely gorgeous and amazing the way the colours are even in your work room i would like to know what you bonded it with as it does not seem to show
Thanks Tammy. There are various things that can be used to bond glass. This particular adhesive is 'classified' I'm afraid. I hope you understand. It took years to figure out.
James Parker Sculpture that’s ok 👌 still love it but i am not tammy
Sorry Katherine!
Canada here. Amazing sculpture with solid light. As Leonard Cohen said " there is a crack, a crack in everything. That' how the light gets in." Would love to see it in full sunlight. Congratulations! It's wonderful! Happy Easter!
Thanks Frances. Hope to get more photos when the weather and time permit!
Lol hey build your brother a glass cows hoof sculpture
Not going to lie, I only came to your channel to ask you to make a glass hoof for your brother. I didn't expect to see this kind of quality and beauty in your art. You really are an amazing artist. Keep up the great work and awesome videos.
Thanks Terry. Much appreciated!
The refraction from the concoidal fractures is just stunning.
Thanks. It is a great material to work with.
Beautiful!!! The glass looks so rich. Happy Easter!
Thanks Sandi. Happy Easter to you too. Yes - the glass has an amazing quality.
These are so beautiful! I have a cousin who used to make glass sculptures like this 20-30 years ago. My mom got one that makes me think about a glacier with a frozen waterfall.
Thank you - sounds beautiful!
How anyone would give this beautiful artwork a thumbs down is unbelievable. Great
Thanks Gerald! Obviously I'm slightly biased😉😂...but I have to agree!
I wish you were my neighbor that looks like fun not just everything else and I just found you second or third time I've seen you you are very talented got to love you please don't stop doing you're very good work
Another beautiful piece, really beautiful, happy Easter 🐣 stay safe, 💕
Thanks Jan. Same to you. Happy Easter
You need to make a glass hoof for your brother!
Amazing piece of art!
James it's beautiful wow the light shinning through it makes it even more beautiful your awesome I mean it you really are your and amazing artist like no other can't wait to see what's next. God Bless you my friend
Thank you very much. Kind words!
Same to you. Take care
Absolutely beautiful!!! Hope you had a Happy Easter 🐣. Now about that glass cow hoof your brother mentioned...... :)
Thanks for your kind words Sherry!
As sunlight hits each broken surfaces it comes alive with so many of shades of green and aqua perfectly capturing the effect of cascading water. It is a work of art and you are a very rare talent.
You're very kind! Hope you're enjoying it. X
Lovely, James. I like hearing about your plans, process and struggles as your work takes shape.
Thank you. Delighted you're enjoying it.
I have been working with stained glass for years now. Compared to your work it’s a colouring book
You are a truly gifted artist That piece was so beautiful I wept. I am so happy Graeme showed your work. I can’t wait to see what you create next. Love from 🇨🇦
Great to have you watching from Canada! Your words are very kind. You shouldn't be so self deprecating! 😉
Great to see such variety of methods. As well as handling of the materials. The sounds the materials make is different. Great work. Hope you and you’re family are staying safe. Happy Holiday.
Thank you. Same to you. Take care!
Ridiculously gorgeous. Fantastic job!
Thank a lot Collin!
Perfection in glass. Very beautiful.patience and persistence makes it happen. Enjoyed watching. Stay safe and healthy you and your family
Thanks Phyllis. Same to you and yours.
Absolutely gorgeous, stunning, and beautiful...
Outstanding piece of art. Glass never looked so amazing.
In addition, a light fitted inside the piece, for night time would also be amazing.
Thank you for your brilliance. From Queensland Australia. 😍
Absolutely fabulous. The attention to detail in the whole process is remarkable. It must at times be tempting to rush things a little. A wonderful piece of art. Cheers.
Thanks Douglas. It's never really that tempting to rush. I like to be efficient but never in a hurry. The time saved on one hand would be outweighed by the knowledge that I might have made a better job.
Amazing work James. It's incredible the amount of thoughtfulness goes into creating a "simple" structure. I love the color of the glass edge and the way the light play's inside the sculpture.
Thank you. I'm pleased the ammount of time spent comes across.
I love the slate sculptures but this one is amazing.
That is absolutely stunning James. What a gifted Artisan you are!
Thank you for your support!
That is truly beautiful...both complicated and simple at the same time. Marvellous!
PS: cows hoof in glass for a certain Highlander you call brother😊
Thank you Fiona
This is a beatutiful piece of art. I love glass.
Thank you
Wow I’ve never seen glass art like this before! It’s incredible and beautiful!
Thank you! Delighted you like my work.
Love it!! The way the light shines through gives it a beautiful glow. Keep making videos, they are an awesome distraction from quarantine.
Thanks Sally. Delighted you're enjoying my videos. Any distraction is a good thing!
SO much work. So much time. And yet we only get glimpses of the finished piece not lit well enough to expose the beauty of what is there. And I never knew glass could be cut like that. Wow!
I lit it as well as I could.... 3 led strip lights, daylight and a floodlight. Sorry - will try harder next time.
Just beautiful! Love it so much!
Scoring glass makes the most satisfying sound
It really does! 😉
How awesome!! I'm an artist as well, I paint with oils. I'm fascinated by the ways others create using different materials. I have to be careful though less I become jack-of-all-trades and master of none!! Well done!!
Thank you! I checked out your profile pic on Instagram - good work! You should post some more pics of your work.
Beautiful work
A lot of work! Look beautiful 💕
Thanks Lix. Delighted you like it.
So satisfying watching you work... LOVE THE EGG!
Thank you very much.
That is so beautiful James ... what a lasting treasure! 🧐😏👊
Thanks for your kind words Kelly! Glad you like the sculpture.
Absolutely amazing! We love to watch as you create beautiful art! It is a gift you have, thank you again for sharing with us! 👏🙌🥚
Thanks Kim. It's my pleasure. Delighted you're enjoying it.
Beautiful sculpture! It was awesome seeing you make it and hearing about why you cut the pieces as you did.
Thanks Laura l. Delighted you enjoyed it.
Watching you work on this was an unexpected joy today.
Lovely to hear that! Glad you enjoyed watching!
Beautiful piece of art. Would love one in my lounge wouldn't be able to take my eye of it with the light catching it. Did I say it was beautiful
Thanks for your kind words Paul! The light reflection is striking isn't it.
Stunning! I'm hooked watching you make these sculptures. 😊 very happy your brother gave me your link.
Thanks Dianne
Stunning, the light adds a whole new dimension to the piece, hope you had a great Easter
Hi Joe. I did thanks. Hope you did too!
Congratulations! It is beautiful. It would not exist without your idea, your craftsmanship and your eye for the details. I hope that you and the rest of the video audience are well wherever they are.
Thanks Clem. Well said! I second that. Hope everyone's well.
I love glass art.
Very beautiful. Complex yet simple.Pleasant to gaze at.
Thanks Laura. I often find the more simple forms work best as long as they're well executed.
Oh my word. This is of exceptional beauty. Absolutely awesome sculpting. It glistens like Stars in the Heavens. Its beauty and fascination draws one in. Mesmerising This I Love. 🌹💟🌿💟🌹
Poetic words Anne. Thank you!
