For every artist out there, every craftsperson, seeing this is hard. But it is a reassuring thing to know that even a maestro can have a failure. Take heart, it is the essence of creation.
I agree....mixed emotions on this. Lino asked for us to share this as he wants to remind people of the challenges and emotional investment in glassmaking
I've watched a lot of the Corning Museum Glass and have always wondered how oftened and at times thought it was going to happen while I was watching them
Yes, it's more than an hour. I've been watching blown away (highly recommend), which is a competition show on netflix about glassmaking. They have 4-5 hrs to finish each challenge. One of the contestants took inspiration from Lino and it was not as close to this but she did it for 5 hrs. I think this one takes longer than 5 hrs based on the intricacy of the design, but it's Maestro Lino here that we're talking about so
bro, anyone whos worked in the hot shop in that situation should be smart enough to have his hands under the piece until the transfer is complete.. totally that guys fault
It's hard to watch this again. But Lino bounces back. All you can do is start the next piece and move on. You relive the moment in your mind for a few hours and then get over it. Glass breaks... all the time.
I think he said, “I push pipe like apprentice. I don’t have hit.” I think in the moment the piece just got too heavy for him and he knew he couldn’t be on the pipe himself.
+I Heart Lino It is, but Lino was glad to share this experience with others so that they appreciate the effort that goes in to glassmaking, and to demonstrate the fact that you never know what will happen to a masterpiece.
Its unfortunate but its called being human. If you never beoke a piece or had anything crack in your career as a maker it means you are perfect and no one out there is.
No, It's not "just glass." It's art, unique art. There will never be another work like that. Each work of glass is as unique as a human. But it's an eye-opener to artists that their work can vanish. It's precious.
I just randomly looked up 'largest blown glass' here i am. This video gave me so much anxiety i'm going to go step outside. Feel terrible for the artist and those involved.
