- This videotape features many of the 400 weights displayed in the Corning Museum of Glass with an emphasis on those made by French 19th century factories. Also shown are techniques of millefiori, lampworking, sulphides, and crimping, as well as footage of how weights are made today. Included are views of paperweight making at Baccarat, Saint-Louis, Wheaton Village, and the studios of Paul Stankard and Victor Trabucco.
... that background synth music takes me back to the 80's... sounds like it could burst into 'Miami Vice' at any time!.. great video btw.
spectacular to see how the flower was encased without being damaged
Fantastic, I love to watch the glass makers
Awesome! Great to see and hear 'Orient and Flume". Local artists just a few blocks from home, like 'Sierra Nevada Brewery'.
Back in early 2000's a friend introduced me to millefiori paperweights. I have been collecting them ever since, and never ceased to be amazed at how unique and special each one is as a work of art. I have seen paperweights with some of the tiniest canes, 1/8" in size, that are nothing short of impressive.
Many beautiful paperweight examples. Also very interesting to watch how this fascinating pieces of art are made. Thanks for the upload!
Fascinated to witness such art of work....if you possess one you will urge for more... and that goes on ...and your sleep is gone
Paperweights are the ultimate expression of the glass makers art. Understanding that the human hand can never touch the molten glass makes these miniature art objects even more mystifying.
Im watching a documentary about paperweights. 😂 And Im enjoying it!
Thank you, every Paperweight has its on beauty to look at. I also like to hold a paperweight in my hands. The shape, the way it chances temperature in my hands and the smoothness.

weird to think that the corning museum has a better lit glass production area than a professional studio/factory.
