Presented by Beth Hylen and Eric Goldschmidt on March 24, 2017 at the International Flameworking Conference at Salem Community College (www.salemcc.edu/glass).
In addition to the work they do at The Corning Museum of Glass (CMoG), Beth Hylen and Eric Goldschmidt are also flameworking artists with a passion for learning more about the historical background of the technique. After exploring this topic independently for several years, they joined forces to research and lecture together. This overview explores the ancient beginnings of working glass in the flame and the flowering of the technique during the early Renaissance in cottage industries and science. The presentation also touch on the traditions of itinerant glassblowers, the glass of Nevers, glass eyes, industrial uses such as light bulbs, and more.
