Verriere de St. Just Videos

Videos related to the Cylinder Process of making hand blown sheets of glass.

I wasn't able to embed these videos, so they may or may not work when you click on the link. It should open windows media player and play within that.

The first video shows the process for Basic Hand Blown Cylinder Glass.

The second video covers the techniques for making specialty glass, like
Dalle De Verre, Crackle Glass, Hammered, Reamy, Flashed Glass and Streaky Glass.

The other early process, which I wish I could find a video of, is the Broad Sheet Process. The broad sheet is similar to the cylinder method, except that in broad sheet the cylinder is smaller and is split and flattened while still hot.
