If you're interested in glassblowing, or if you simply like to watch craftsmen at work, then here's a special treat for you: the <a href="http://www.cmog.org/">Corning Museum of Glass</a> (<a href="http://www.metafilter.com/103106/A-museum-shows-its-favorites-folder">previously</a>) has posted<a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0E9063C833CBBC08"> hours upon hours of videos of their studio demonstrations</a> on Youtube. And if that's not enough, you might want to bookmark <a href="http://www.cmog.org/programs/live-streaming#.USIWZsURxHI">their live streams page</a>, for they will be streaming about a dozen studio demonstrations over the summer. <br /><br />Some of my favourites so far:
<li>William Gudenrath <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G-qpjeXySE">making some intricate goblets;</a>
<li>Gianni Toso and Matthew Urban <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LHUn7O1PaE">sculpting a beautiful female head and more</a> out of coloured glass;
<li>Mark Matthews <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfmCdesY8S0">pulling some canes</a> for his spherical objects (not as simple as it sounds);
<li>Lino Tagliapietra demonstrating his mastery (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ2F6OuvidU">part one</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v3RYdTqf5o">part two</a>)</li></li></li></li>post:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.125110Mon, 18 Feb 2013 04:41:48 -0800daniel_charmsglassblowingcraftsglassvideoslivestreamcorningmuseumofglasswilliamgudenrathgiannitosomatthewurbanmarkmatthewslinotagliapietramassivetimesinktimesinkBy: nevercalm

It's worth noting that the former executive director credited with giving the museum much of its character, David Whitehouse, died Sunday. (I know that sentence doesn't do him justice, but I'm on a mobile phone right now.)comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.125110-4831809Mon, 18 Feb 2013 07:22:19 -0800bugmuncherBy: kimberussell

They did a bunch of demos on Governors Island last summer where they collaborated with designers and artists to create a one-off design. It was really fascinating stuff. Considering it was already bloody hot, I gained even more respect for somebody who spends hours in close proximity to red hot bits of glass. Thanks for the post! This reminds me that I gotta make the trip upstate.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.125110-4831870Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:17:35 -0800computech_apolloniajamesBy: disclaimer

William Gudenrath rocks it. An under the weather weekend meant I had time to watch most of these over the weekend.
I can't imagine how hot that studio gets over a day's work. And the silly hats in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqTvTOlDoCM&list=PL0E9063C833CBBC08&index=3">Alex Brand's demonstration</a> were kind of fun.
Edit: Also, it's really annoying that they don't show the finished pieces after annealing them...until you realize that you're seeing the finished piece anyway...comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.125110-4832412Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:42:25 -0800disclaimerBy: Sidhedevil

Awesome!
If you're closer to Toledo than to Corning, let me also recommend the demos at the Toledo Museum of Art, especially for kids--the demonstrators do a great job and the demo studio is set up really well.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.125110-4832499Mon, 18 Feb 2013 15:23:26 -0800SidhedevilBy: Joe in Australia

This might have been such an unfortunate description, but you phrased it beautifully.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.125110-4832709Mon, 18 Feb 2013 17:11:51 -0800Joe in AustraliaBy: wiskunde

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it.

The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation.
