>>>>>> '97 <<<<<<
" I suddenly became stangely inebriated.The external world became changed as in a dream.Objects appeared to gain in relief; they assumed unusual dimensions;and colors became more glowing .Even self-perception and the sense of time were changed.When the eyes are closed, colored pictures flashed past in a quickly changing kaleidoscope. After a few hours,the not unpleasent inebriation,which had been experienced whilst I was fully conscious,disappeared.What had caused this condition ?"
~Albert Hofmann, Laboratory Notes (1943)

master
the goblet above maybe... or all the other insane stuff he has posted. the medium doesn't seem to be an obstacle. i would think it would be measured by the work, not the years. imo. chris.

I continue to ponder.....
If someone has been blowing glass for 1 year,and makes " MASTERPIECE "( By whatever definition) And someone else has been doing it for 20 years and also has created a "masterpiece" whats the differance??? I agree with LAglass,these things aren't measured in years...And yet ,to varying degrees, many things only come with time....this pages' discussion has opened a philosophical can of worms for me...If anyone else is as bored as I am, feel free to chime in...

yeah i have seen some kids bust out good work after only like a year or two-
I would call Robert Mickelson , Suellen Fowler, Ray Olson and parramore masters of there art because they have worked for more than 25-30 years... you can see how each of them have done things thousands of times to get to where they can pop things out -near perfect most every time... who's to say you cannot achieve this after 10-15 years right? After seeing the GWP crew work in SEA-GAS i would have to say a lot of these veteran -Pipe Crafters™ possess this same level master craftsmanship. Speaking of Time invested talent watching Clinton work was a trip... the guy is an amazing lamp-worker... I guess what I'm getting to hear is that its not years of time under your belt that set your abilities.. its the amount (in thousands) of times you say spin out a foot or maybe assemble the last connection on a cup that really matter. thats what makes master crafters, in my eyes- gain that abnormal talent... any thoughts?

the whole master artist thing?
someone could work double the time someone else does and they could learn more about glass faster. the degree of art you put out is all based on the experience you have, the more you do stuff the better you get. someone could work 5 years and another could work 10 and the one that works 5 could be considered a more advanced artist because they puts more of theyre own time and life into the work. the amount of years you put in doesnt matter, its the amount of passion you have for the art, the amount of devotion that you put into your work that defines how good of an artist you are.

in murrano italy
their would only be one master per shop. The Miestro was the seinor glass worker. When a miestro would retire, whoever was next in line would clame the title. A pair of golden jacks would be presented to him by the patron of the fournace. This is what I have learned on the history of the studio from Emielo Santini. Just thaught I would share.
