Watch the Stunning Creation of a Colorful Glass Pitcher From Start to Finish
Once you watch this video that takes you through the process of forming a pitcher, you might not be able to help yourself from signing up for a glass blowing class…or at least clicking on another video. The danger and beauty of working with molten glass captivate anyone who finds other people’s artistic process fascinating.
In the video posted by NOVICA, an offshoot of National Geographic that highlights the work of artisans worldwide, Mexican artists Efrén and Javier show viewers how a colorful hand-blown glass pitcher emerges from plain, recycled glass. Though they make it look almost easy due to their confidence in their craft, the video also shows how coordinated and graceful one must be to keep the molten glass moving while manipulating its shape without letting it slump too far.
Since NOVICA wants to support artists, they have an extensive online store that features the work of Javier and Efren and a short artist biography. “This type of work is a beautiful craft. I love blown glass because of the pure imagination poured into every piece created,” they quote Efrén. Check out their practical and stunning glassware here.
