We hope to bring the magic of the glassblowing process to those who are not
able to physically visit our studio. This page features different techniques and
forms. The steps are detailed for each piece. Let us know if there are any glass
blowing techniques or forms that you would like to see featured here.
If you'd like to try this yourself, we offer glassblowing classes
for beginners as well as experienced glassblowers.
Demonstrating Artist:Elio Quarisa Assistant:Class Participants Date:July 2, 2006
Maestro Elio Quarisa creates a detailed seahorse stemmed goblet, using the reticello
technique for the cup and the foot. This is an extremely technical example of
Venetian glass blowing techniques and showcases Elio's virtuosity. This goblet was
one of the demonstration pieces made during the Master Class workshop that Elio
taught. You can see more pictures of and information about this class on the class wrap-up web page.
