Chihuly!! Part 3

This post focuses on Chihuly's drawings and a handful of vessels unlike the others I've shown. They're all presented without comment.
















There is a glassblowing studio attached to the arts center where you can watch an artist creating his piece, with the help of assistants, from start to finish. I was mesmerized watching the process. I knew glassblowing was physical, and required help, but I had no idea what a production it is. It was extremely hot and loud, and the way they all worked together -- actually it was like they were performing a dance. This is a video of the final stage of making this shallow vessel.
