How to make a pufferfish or Fugu | The Art of Lampwork

Guys, what is up? Welcome back for our next episode of Animals Under Fire. I've got a really awesome episode, and I say episode because this thing is a monster at 20 plus minutes long, but I did that because it deserves to be that long. You need to see the entire process, and yeah, so you're just going to deal with it. So this piece is actually made in two different studios. We're going to be making, let me move over, we're going to be making a full-size dragon, like you can see right here, that goes on a dragon egg made by my friend Chris Skibbe, and this whole thing is going to be put together at the Glasspot for their third Thursday event. Really quick on the Glasspot, the Glasspot is an amazing studio. I pretty much grew up there. After I graduated VCU in 2007, there was no place to work in Richmond, Virginia, and the Glasspot literally opened up right as I graduated, so I immediately just started renting time there, and this video, we are celebrating their 12th anniversary in Richmond, so truly a feat, and it's truly the heart of the Glass community here in Richmond, Virginia. So sit back, relax, and watch a third Thursday dragon come to life. Roll it!
