Very cool
Also it was fucking hilarious yesterday when you were drunking on those French people lol

The curved glass sections were formed by slumping sheets of stained glass over custom refractory forms in a furnace, and then cutting the glass pieces to shape on a glass-cutting bandsaw adapted to cut in 3D.
slumping then cutting with a custom band saw is pretty fucking brilliant
The images shown here represent four years of research, design, and fabrication.
yeah, zero doubt there, I bet this took a lot of trial and error
The glass pieces were joined with standard stained glass assembly techniques using copper foil and solder.

jfc
so a hobbiest with a kiln and a lot of free time technically could achieve this 🤔
I looove art nouveau as an architectural and aesthetic style, gimme me organic inspired shapes please
It's my favourite of the modernist movements and needs to come back. Natural motifs plus a focus on decommodified artisan craftsmanship is so much more interesting than any cityscape in the west. It's the thing that links William Morris to what Soviet art almost became. A building like Barcelona's Palau de la Musica is a cathedral to nature: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/27/22_11_01_Palau_DSCF2611_52502512616_cc1e7db845_k.jpg

Oh hey
I was gonna ask how they did the curved glass but yeah there it is. This is incredible.
I've also seen a different Venetian technique where they both form it around a shape and manually curve it with handtools: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-i_0_h4BF8
What an amazing video. The pancake happens in just seconds so I'll link to that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-i_0_h4BF8&t=410s

a minute in, he's got this really hot bit of glass and it keeps suddenly changing between yellow and deep red, what's up with that?
Could be wrong, but I think that's something to do with the camera, the amount of IR emitting to the camera is changing based on the angle he's holding it - and the camera is trying to do some kind of auto adjust routine to compensate.
It doesn't seem like there's an air hose attached to the back of the pole. I can't tell if that means it's the spinning or the loss of surface area from cutting which makes it rapidly change temperature.

He doesn't mention doing it as a commission so I think it's just a one-off personal project.
