Phenomenal blown murrini vase by Agusta, Missouri artist Stam Stang. Stang has been a fixture in the glass community for almost 40 years and is revered for his contemporary takes on traditional Italian glassblowing techniques. A true showstopper!
“All of my pieces are made by using traditional European glassblowing techniques. With the murrini pieces, I begin by making glass rods which are patterned in cross section. The rods are cooled and cut into thin pieces and arranged on an iron plate which is then heated to fuse the murrini. This is then rolled into a tube on the end of a blowpipe and shaped into the final form. Every piece I make is entirely produced hot at the furnace. The banded bowls and platters are blown as separate sections and fused together. This technique, known as encalmo, requires a great deal of skill and cooperation. I work with at least one assistant and often with a team of three experienced glassblowers.” -Sam Stang
