Kudos to the NARRATOR: Best job of explaining the process I have EVER heard in ANY of this type of video. You have excellent skill in narration. Thank you. The video was also of excellent quality.
I was listening while doing something I didn't look up till he said we've been into it for an hour and a half. I didn't even realize we had been into it for an hour and a half. soothing voice I can probably even go to sleep to that. and the artist cool too. Very cool
Thank you for providing educational content for free. UA-cam is amazing and so full of entertainment and info, but the multiple video angles, Japanese experts willing to demonstrate their skill and helpful narrator make this a fully engaging video.
Whoever was the narrating did a tremendous job of guiding us through the intricate processes with great detail that helped me understand at a much simpler level. Hats off to you. Wonderful job!
I never realized how much work goes into glass blowing...the apprenticeship all the people involved that make these works of art....its really impressive. Thank you for posting this !
I remember my tour at Corning in 1984. I'm delighted to see that the tours are still popular. I enjoyed watching the process of glass making. It was a revelation!
Thank you for posting a full real-time video of the process along with commentary. Glass is not something I would ever work in but knowing all that goes into making a masterful piece of hand crafted glass gives me a deeper appreciation for it.
japanese names just make everything instantly sound +10 points cooler. i cant get enough of this channel. the glass casting video was particularly amazing. and the glass ocular prosthetics. id love to see someone make some glass blades, even if theyre non functional. glass daggers and stuff just sound epic
The way that man's mind throughout history has even been able to come up with such concepts is mind blowing.. how did it originate? Was it watching the natural environment as the volcano for example that had molten lava began to harden.. and created a glass like substance.. but to continually refine the art of what they do.. shows the level of creativity and imagination and understanding... the desire to learn and improve on what already is... yet to make something realistic and beautiful from within that. One small understanding can lead to such a whole new world of achievement.. this was how men inspired me to want to try new things. Because they opened themselves up through videos like this.
Their work is absolutely amazing and stunning but the narrator steals the show for me, I admire him for just talking the entire time, I'd run out of things to talk about pretty quickly! And he actually cracked some jokes and was very informative and entertaining
I really enjoyed watching this video. The artists work is beautiful, he has a team who is friendly and hardworking. The commentator was nice to listen to. Over all an amazing video, and you realize how much work goes into one beautiful piece of art. Thank you Masahiro,for sharing your art and time with us.
Thanks for putting this on UA-cam. It's nice to have a knowledgeable person explain his perspective of another knowledge person's process. Really awesome video.
I love to see them make these big pieces! An absolute master at work! His team worked together so smoothly. The gaffer must have been so tired after all that heavy work. I've watched many episodes and its the first I see a bubble pulled. This master's creativity is astounding. Who would have thought a spiral of bubbles can be so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your skills Masahiro Sasaki. Keep these videos with biiiiiggggg pieces comming Corning museum.
I visited the Corning museum many years ago and it was an excellent experience I will never forget!! It is truly an amazing place with amazing glassware!! I would recommend it to any one who loves glass especially antique pieces!! Love and respect Tamsen Roberts in Riverside California....
My first visit was in 1962 on a family vacation, and it actually motivated me to get a degree in glass, ceramics, and enamel. Even at 75, I still dabble in all three media, and combine them freely. The museum was quite small in '62, but already had a formidable collection. Watching the museum grow incrementally over the decades has been remarkable! I still have the small Steuben piece we bought my mother for Xmas that first trip. So exciting to be able to sample these videos in my insomnia.
I just love these videos. I know this all happened three years ago, but I still kept finding myself holding my breath, heart racing with the excitement of heat, breath, gravity, oh my, what a skill this is.
Such an amazing art form. Watching masters at work, no matter the form,is so enjoyable to me. My grandfather made cellos. I loved his workroom and was the only grandchild allowed in there due to the fact I was quiet and learned different skills so I could help in my mall way.
I just spend almost 2 hours watching them create glass into what looks like an enhanced one cell microscopic organism?. Great teamwork. Red glass would have been so cool. 😊😉❤️
Watching him and his team work together with barely a word spoken between them is a beautiful thing that can only come from trust and knowledge of their craft, absolutely amazing to watch. I've always wanted to learn to blow glass, not so much art pieces even though that would be cool but more along the lines of making pipes lol.
I just found this glass show while I was paruzing for some cool stuff.I just think the announcer did such an awesome job his commentary was quite good.So hats off to you.Sincerely Diz.
I just started watching your channel and it's the perfect teamwork and atmosphere to watching sports but with glass so you have something cool to show for it. I'm lovin' it! Thank you all!
I was looking at this, and it made me think of some art work I saw of a creature of rain or river serpent I remembered. To look at the creature. Shows the same forward motion of a spiral. Had to make sure I did not get it mixed up with some art work pieces from China. Glad he brought the slide show pictures, to give us an idea of what he was going for. Other wise it just reminded me of a sea cucumber. It is amazing piece.
I think I've seen sculptures similar to what you are describing by a Chinese guy I believe it was and he made serpant like peaces that where also clear and kind of dragon like
I don't think Masahiro Sasaki have the same idea about glass as we normal people do... I believe glass masters forget the real property of glass while they work on them, they see them very very differently than a normal mind can conceive :) Corning Museum, Thank you for this channel and posting all this great art work in making 👏👏👏
That was so awesome. Thank you commentator for letting us know what/why was happening. I watched this video from the very beginning and I thought at least you could show us the final piece. 😢
Masahiro Sasaki and Assistants, Excellent craftsmanship, artistry and also entertaining at the same time! One can use their imagination to see a likeness to what is present in Life. The arrangement also reminds of Hershey Kisses! Mahalo from Hawai’i
At 1:42 minutes: the piece is getting heavy! Great job carrying it back & forth without ever touching the sides or knocking off any spikes! That was intense! Very beautiful and well done
If there is a class about showing anything and they’re coming from Japan. I will definitely want to be there. Japanese people take their job seriously and they’re REALLY GOOD at it.
Absolutely amazing work! His pieces remind me of the seed pods on some of our Aussie trees (before sandblasting that is.) And you have a very soothing voice btw
8:03 that huge chunk is putting out so much heat they have to put a baffle over his hand so it won't burn him being that close to it. That rod probably gets pretty hot too.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who was like... oh... oh wow... wait, did he just say...? Heh ok... 👀 *continues watching intently* even amidst all the clearly innuendo-like commentary, just in awe of how well the jokes are either writing themselves here, innocently...orrrr he is masterful at keeping a straight face, knowing full well he's being inappropriate. Which, I would absolutely applaud.
That apres coldwork finished piece blew me away. Had no idea it would turn into that and was wondering why his bubble was so thin. Thanks for not cutting out reheats. Seeing how long they're in there for adds a lot to our collective understanding of heats.
Kudos to the NARRATOR: Best job of explaining the process I have EVER heard in ANY of this type of video. You have excellent skill in narration. Thank you. The video was also of excellent quality.
Give props to the commentator. He was so good literally sat through every minute,
@@user-yo6um3jn5k I thought I was the only one lmao. Choking up on the pipe… glory whole … come on and not one snicker ..skills lol
My immediate thoughts as well. He kept it interesting for sure. Seemed like a pretty cool dude too.
@@user-yo6um3jn5k more than twice 😊
I was listening while doing something I didn't look up till he said we've been into it for an hour and a half. I didn't even realize we had been into it for an hour and a half. soothing voice I can probably even go to sleep to that. and the artist cool too. Very cool
I had to turn on the CC, he spoke too softly. Why?
Thank you for providing educational content for free. UA-cam is amazing and so full of entertainment and info, but the multiple video angles, Japanese experts willing to demonstrate their skill and helpful narrator make this a fully engaging video.
You're welcome; it's our pleasure to share glass with the world. Thanks for watching!
I love watching the masters at work be it glass, swords, woodworking, etc. So fascinating
We do too, thanks for watching!
Agree 100
Me too. It is a PASSION
💞😻🌹

Agreed, great job
This guys awesome

Aliens after they built the pyramids.
Alchemists
The earliest known glass objects, of the mid-third millennium BCE, were beads, perhaps initially created as accidental by-products of metal-working.
Their work is absolutely amazing and stunning but the narrator steals the show for me, I admire him for just talking the entire time, I'd run out of things to talk about pretty quickly!
And he actually cracked some jokes and was very informative and entertaining

Whomever is narrating is such a pro, and what an attractive voice. :) Bravo my man!
Swinging that glass around is panic inducing, awe inspiring & pure calculated chaos. It’s equally beautiful & terrifying to witness. 🙌🏻
Agreed, it's a very well-orchestrated dance; thanks for watching!
Legitimately what I thought EVERY TIIIIIIME he picked it up to put it back into the glory hole while attaching the spikes 😅😅
The organic forms and method of production give a coral like effect. Very pretty and beautiful.
Thanks for watching!

It’s good to hear they are bringing glass blowing to more people, but if I want to watch it, this is the best place.
Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy watching the team work.
Thanks for watching!
This is great!! Thanks so much for posting on UA-cam 👍
The skill involved with glass work is pretty awesome. Thank you for the upload.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing teamwork and such inspirational creativity! Thank you...

Wow, what an incredible team!!!! They are like well trained brain surgeons.
So amazing! And the commentary is so interesting. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching!
I loved seeing the layers pile up around the inner glass in the furnace
I really enjoyed the narration of this process and even the information about what is added to the glass and when color would have been added.
What an Artist, this is amazing!!!!
wow coldworked all the bubble away, that's epic ! Thanks for the content Corning !
Thanks for watching!
I love to watch these artists work at their trade ❤❤❤
So beautiful and skillfully done glass blowing art piece.. Thanks for the Aowsom video❤
Great work fantastic piece so much effort goes into it congratulations
Thanks for watching!
Wow and the catcher! Way to much responsibility…master of their craft! Bravoooo!❤️❤️❤️❤️
A phenomenal piece of glass art.
So beautiful it takes my breath away thank you
Thanks for watching!
❤Pure Awesomeness❤ great teamwork ,Incredible artistry❤
That was so awesome. Thank you commentator for letting us know what/why was happening. I watched this video from the very beginning and I thought at least you could show us the final piece. 😢
They did. Looked absolutely nothing like what we all saw as a finished product. Just needed to cool down? Nope.
Outstanding! Thank you Masahiro Sasaki!
Thanks for watching!
Just beautiful. The spikes look like the spikes on the Japanese Puffer Fish.
Thanks for watching!
Masahiro Sasaki and Assistants,
Excellent craftsmanship, artistry and also entertaining at the same time!

Master is always a master no doubt great pleasure to watch thanks god bless you and your family
Thanks for watching!
Narration diverts viewer's attention from the process. 1:45:53
Breathtakingly beautiful, such skill
Thanks for watching!
At 1:42 minutes: the piece is getting heavy!
Great job carrying it back & forth without ever touching the sides or knocking off any spikes! That was intense! Very beautiful and well done
I've always wanted to b a glass maker/blower...such a fascinating job and/or hobby.
Excellent. just gorgeous. Very interest watching a master..
Such a innovative look.
Very organic
Thanks for watching!
Yeah I gotta question over there. Uh yeah how do you keep the camera from melting in that furnace ?
I had the same question lol
It isn’t in the furnace. They use a zoom/telephoto lens from a safe distance with a filter
He tells you in the stream. Its a window made to withstand intense heat. They film from the outside of the inside window lol.
This is going to be spectacular!
And by the way, next to Bill Gudenrath, this is the best narration I’ve heard on CMOG. Really interesting and informative.
Totally agree! We’ll done. There should be more credit to the commentators
If there is a class about showing anything and they’re coming from Japan. I will definitely want to be there.
Japanese people take their job seriously and they’re REALLY GOOD at it.
Stay updated on all of our upcoming classes here: glassmaking.cmog.org/classes
Loved this so much! Thanks guys! I would love to see him sandblasting as well 😍
Thanks for watching!
Wow! I'm still at him swinging it around his body, and I'm so amazed. Can't wait to see the rest!
Amazing presentation!
His finished work is gorgeous. He is a true artist. You can take time to appreciate the form and shapes within.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely amazing work! His pieces remind me of the seed pods on some of our Aussie trees (before sandblasting that is.) And you have a very soothing voice btw
Thanks for watching!
I met a glass artist while in Western Honshu, Japan. She studied at Corning. Her speciality was lampwork beads.
Wow that piece ended up beautifully... I like the sand blasting very cool... Really very stunning ✌🏻💗😊❣️
That is amazing to watch, WOW ❤️👍
This was so amazing to witness. Thank you for sharing and hosting this amazing talent and creation!
Thanks for watching!
Why do I feel like I'm watching a sporting event?
But seriously, the process is a lot more intense than I had imagined.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing.
8:03 that huge chunk is putting out so much heat they have to put a baffle over his hand so it won't burn him being that close to it. That rod probably gets pretty hot too.
Amazing. Thanks for the informative content.
Thanks for watching!
Caught myself gripping the arms of my chair watching him.
oh my THEY reall do call it a glory hole!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Spectacular in every way.
Thanks for watching, Kathryn!
1:42:00 lopsided zucchini with moldy growths forming around it?
I wish to see the finaly!
That is so awesome!!!!!
Really cool stuff. My heart fell into my stomach at 1:32 mark when you heard the glass crack.
Spectacularly well done!
Fantastic skills and collaboration,joy to watch,did skip and split into sections.
excelente video...una pregunta...que camara usan para grabar dentro del horno a más de 1400ºc ???
Simply Amazing!
Thanks for watching!
I love the commentary. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Didn’t include how they removed the inner supporting structure (the bubble) which seems like the most crucial part of the creation.
I agree wholeheartedly ‼️‼️‼️
Excellent video
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful work guys. Trying to train right now
Awsome how they have camera in the oven as he swings it the glas goes flying into audience. Would of Ben some showmen ship got their applaud 👏
Can't believe I just watched 1 hr 45 mins of a bunch of professional BLOWERS inserting a giant glass SHAFT into a GLORY HOLE
Yea normally I watch that stuff like 3 minutes or so and I'm done with it.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who was like... oh... oh wow... wait, did he just say...? Heh ok... 👀 *continues watching intently* even amidst all the clearly innuendo-like commentary, just in awe of how well the jokes are either writing themselves here, innocently...orrrr he is masterful at keeping a straight face, knowing full well he's being inappropriate. Which, I would absolutely applaud.
But also, just masterful work by the artist here. Worthwhile to watch, even if it hadn't been also hilarious due to the commentary.
,😂
🤣I Totally Agree
That apres coldwork finished piece blew me away. Had no idea it would turn into that and was wondering why his bubble was so thin. Thanks for not cutting out reheats. Seeing how long they're in there for adds a lot to our collective understanding of heats.

Great show
butiful handwork,❤
how much cost in energy did it take to make that one bauble of glass? $1000? Curious to know because that furnace doesn't heat itself!
I was AAAHHHHINGGG the whole time even before he said that!!!
I don't understand the finished product. Where did all the glass go that the spikes were being attached to?
