I've been lampworking for over twenty years full time and I just want to thank you for the demo. You make lace work look easy and have inspired me to go out the shop and try again . Many thanks and full respect!
-
this is awesome,you are awesome. as a beginner in glassblowing i will now try to keep this oldschool technique alive! great work!
-
Just came across a video where a similar thing was done with a 3d printer, and one comment pointed out that it was also an old glass working technique. Really cool to see this with glass;!!
-
This is a skill that takes a lot of practice. I'm sure you will be making nice loops stitches in no time. I'm glad you have an interest in spun glass work.
-
Wonderful intro to this lost artform. I'm grateful to see it. I can imagine a lot of applications, Stands for small sculpture being one.
-
Thanks for the video! Your tutorials are great-- I followed your instructions to make the skirt of a glass ballerina and she turned out great (definitely needs practice but I earned a few "ooohs" and "aaaaaws" from those who couldn't see my mistakes). Thank you so much!
-
I have so much respect for you, thank you so much for these videos
-
Thanks for making this video, it'll really help my mom out with her work.
-
your right its a dying art form, I am glad to see you and Joe keeping it alive!-) great video and congrats to your daughter for excellent camera work!-)

GREAT TUTORIAL!!! i couldn't do it so far, tried every way i know to hold the rods, but it just didn't look right. now i will try the way you show, i already love the way you use your left hand its much more comfortable for me. what you show, coupled with what Crazy4Glass (joe) showed - i think i'll be able to do it finally. and i need it badly. it's very important for the light fixtures i want to make. it's what i got into hot glass for, actualy... THANKS

i understand why it went "out of favour" as you say, because as an artistic medium it was abused for years, the result were as kitsch as the crochet it was named after... but its great as a texture, and thrilling as a light defuser, and that's way i need to master it. 2 glassblowers i know here brough some spun-glass expert workers from Romania to their studios, they make ALL the spun-glass light defusers in Israel. its insane!
-
I would like to see some of those defusers. Make a video :-) That could turn out to be a great item to make around here.
-
Nice video, I like the camera angle on this one. It would be cool if you added a diddy filter for the flare. The videos are great.
-
Love this loop stitch video as well as all your video's. Can't seem to find Joe Crazy for Glass video. Do you have a link?
-
@finefollyglassworks I will but it will be awhile as it is too cold out. But, since I am using boro COE 33 the temporary attachments are just cold seals. A tap of the rod will break the seal. I think I show cold seals on one or two of my videos. Remind me in a month if you still want another video.
-
Yes, I use a variety of glass and Chinese color is one of them.
-
Thanks! I am using a didymium filter on the camera. It's the lens out of an old pair of glasses. :-)
-
Would you please make another video showing how to detach the punty-rod from the lace work and attach a smaller rod or a different colored rod to it? Anything else you think useful would be wonderful too.
-
have you ever tray china glass or imported glass from mountain glass website?? and colors??
-
what glass do you use northstar symax pyrex etc???
