We’re excited to share that the Museum’s former Sr. Director of Creative Strategy and Visitor Engagement, Rob Cassetti, served as the final guest judge on Blown Away Season 2. Look for Rob and six members of the Museum’s Hot Glass Demo Team in the sizzling finale when Blown Away launches on Netflix on January 22!Object of the Week: Five-Draw Telescope, unknown maker, Italy, 1700-1750. 2018.8.5. The introduction of the telescope in 1608 led to the production of many Galilean telescopes with a single-lens eyepiece, low magnification, and a narrow field of view. The development of the compound eyepiece in 1645 made it possible to use the telescope as a more effective device for astronomical and terrestrial observation. This example could be used for both types of observation: at 44 cm in length, it’s portable, and it provides magnification and a field of view convenient for observing both realms.We’re toasting the new year with this design drawing from H.P Sinclaire & Co. for a champagne glass! 188 sau. champ. [art original]: no. 40, H. P. Sinclaire & Co., Corning, NY, 1904-1927. H. P. Sinclaire & Co. design drawing collection. CMGL 125637.Object of the Week: Bottle with Snake-Thread Decoration, Cologne, Germany, 175-299. Purchased in part with funds from the Arthur Rubloff Residuary Trust. 2017.1.27. The glassworker applied these “snake threads” to the surface of the bottle and added the crimped pattern with a tool. The Y-shaped tendrils, which appear brown, are gilded and give almost architectural structure to the more random white and blue patterns.Joyous Kwanzaa from The Corning Museum of Glass! The kinara, Swahili for candleholder, holds seven candles—three red on the left, three green on the right, and a single black candle in the middle—that represent the seven principles that are the foundation of the African-American celebration Kwanzaa. The glass kinara represents a bridge spanning generations of African-American people, and a waterfall cascades behind it to symbolize how they all flow together. Behind the scene, a mirror invites the onlooker to see their reflection and contemplate what Umoja means to them. Kwanzaa Setting was designed by Jonathan Rowe of Horseheads, New York, and the Rowe Family guided and assisted the Museum’s Hot Glass Demo Team in creating the piece. You can see this Kwanzaa Setting at the Museum through January 4.
