Glassmaking Technique: Core-Formed Glass

Core forming is one of the earliest glassmaking techniques. Glassmakers shaped the body of the vessel around a core, wound colored trails around it, and added handles and a rim. They then let the vessel cool and removed the core. Watch a demonstration of this ancient method in this video featuring footage from the Corning Museum of Glass. Love Art? Hit Subscribe!
