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.
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 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 !
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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 👏👏👏
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
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.
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.
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 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 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
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 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. 😊😉❤️
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 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!
Watching this glass piece going in and out of the heating oven scares me. I keep thinking someone is going to crash the piece against one of the doors that hasn’t been opened.
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
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. 😢
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
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.
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.
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.
I’m so glad someone asked if the glass would smush or shatter when dropped! I was wondering the exact same thing and Google had no idea what I was looking for haha! 😂
watching glass blowing and pottery are relaxing to me, i love watching a blob become something so cool. thank you for sharing these different styles with us. do you have anyone who does flowers or bugs? glass flowers i look at with awe, so delicate.this is asmr for me.

Although they can become radioactive when you charge them with enough energy like the Arc of the covenant, which was placed inside the pyramid to charge up with energy.
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

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

Aliens after they built the pyramids.

The earliest known glass objects, of the mid-third millennium BCE, were beads, perhaps initially created as accidental by-products of metal-working.

I only watched because the guys narrative was so informative! They definitely picked the right guy for the job

The organic forms and method of production give a coral like effect. Very pretty and beautiful.
Thanks for watching!
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 😅😅

I would not think this would be something that would entertain me but watching the skills at work the commentary is on point just perfect.
That glass is a piece of work, it gives me such a calm vibe

Best commentary in all of entertainment, action sports and live-artistry
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.
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.

But also, just masterful work by the artist here. Worthwhile to watch, even if it hadn't been also hilarious due to the commentary.

What an amazing demonstration! I watched until the very end. Everyone was very professional!!
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!

Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy watching the team work.
Thanks for watching!
So amazing! And the commentary is so interesting. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching!
wow coldworked all the bubble away, that's epic ! Thanks for the content Corning !
Thanks for watching!
Wow, what an incredible team!!!! They are like well trained brain surgeons.
I loved seeing the layers pile up around the inner glass in the furnace
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.
Amazing teamwork and such inspirational creativity! Thank you...
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.
Wow! I'm still at him swinging it around his body, and I'm so amazed. Can't wait to see the rest!
What an Artist, this is amazing!!!!
His finished work is gorgeous. He is a true artist. You can take time to appreciate the form and shapes within.
Thanks for watching!
Watching this glass piece going in and out of the heating oven scares me. I keep thinking someone is going to crash the piece against one of the doors that hasn’t been opened.
Just beautiful. The spikes look like the spikes on the Japanese Puffer Fish.

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.
Great work fantastic piece so much effort goes into it congratulations
Thanks for watching!
I love to watch these artists work at their trade ❤❤❤
Wow and the catcher! Way to much responsibility…master of their craft! Bravoooo!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great job carrying it back & forth without ever touching the sides or knocking off any spikes! That was intense! Very beautiful and well done

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!
We ve been 1 hour 30min watching how that guy was sticking his long big headed hot pole through the glory hole. Amazing.
Loved this so much! Thanks guys! I would love to see him sandblasting as well 😍
Thanks for watching!
Caught myself gripping the arms of my chair watching him.
oh my THEY reall do call it a glory hole!
Such a innovative look.
Very organic
Thanks for watching!
Excellent. just gorgeous. Very interest watching a master..
I met a glass artist while in Western Honshu, Japan. She studied at Corning. Her speciality was lampwork beads.
Fantastic skills and collaboration,joy to watch,did skip and split into sections.
This is going to be spectacular!
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.
It’s midnight.. I have work tomorrow. I should have never clicked on this cause I know I’m up another hour at least.. 😺
Wow that piece ended up beautifully... I like the sand blasting very cool... Really very stunning ✌🏻💗😊❣️
I wish to see the finaly!
This was so amazing to witness. Thank you for sharing and hosting this amazing talent and creation!
Thanks for watching!
I love the commentary. I learned a lot. Thank you.
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
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.
Amazing presentation!
Narration diverts viewer's attention from the process. 1:45:53
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.

I’m so glad someone asked if the glass would smush or shatter when dropped! I was wondering the exact same thing and Google had no idea what I was looking for haha! 😂
Its a good question, my guess is the more heat the more the glass can flow around the rest of it and the less heat even still glowing can break apart
To my knowledge its more likely to break from being aloud to cool too quickly and it contracts and snaps.
@@kentuckysmoose Off the bat, he called him "Sasiki" ...
Well? The answer?
@@jasonnikolic When it's hot, it drops like honey.
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 👏
Really cool stuff. My heart fell into my stomach at 1:32 mark when you heard the glass crack.
Beautiful work guys. Trying to train right now
Wow! Wow! Wow! Spectacular in every way.

Didn’t include how they removed the inner supporting structure (the bubble) which seems like the most crucial part of the creation.
