also from the countries of the european union also israel, uh, canada including yes, and if there are any restrictions on sending or receiving, here are the parcels from any countries, here is what concerns geography today, uh, customs legislation, as well as uh, other uh, regulations, and there are no restrictions for sending goods relative to countries, that is, where you want, you can send. yes? of course you are. everything changes very quickly time goes by imperceptibly minutes days of the year we never have enough time to stop and to think about those who are waiting for us at this very moment it is worth remembering those without whom we will be so

lonely on this earth, it's time to say, you know, i miss or listen to dads, right now, without putting it off for later, you need to say, i'm here, i'm nearby . appreciate the time you spend with your loved ones. in

the modern world, it is difficult to imagine your life without glass, it seems that interior items, dishes, accessories, and many other things are made from it as such a simple and ordinary material, it seems there is nothing to surprise, but we will try do it. today we will visit the studio, where real works of art are born by taming the most unpredictable element of fire with you alina is a fashion for culture. glass has a very ancient history, most scientists have come to the conclusion that this material was accidentally created 6,000 years ago is still not known for certain. how exactly was glass invented

? a by-product of other crafts in those days, the firing of clay products took place in ordinary pits dug in the sand, and straw or reeds formed during the combustion served as fuel. ash, that is, alkali at high temperature contact with sand, gave a glass mass . but there was an ancient writer-historian, pleni the elder, who believed that we owe glass to the phoenician merchants, who, during the stopovers, kindled fires on the coastal sand and cooked their own food. what was their surprise, when in the morning at the place of the fire, they found a glass ingot, and that's all, because when kindling a fire. they used

african soda as a result of exposure to high temperatures on sand and african soda and glass was formed. currently, the world produces about 20 billion tons of glass per year. and when this glass falls into the skillful hands of masters , real masterpieces are born. there is a studio in minsk that specializes in the manufacture of exclusive glass products, icons, paintings, flowers and much more. here you can implement any creative fantasy ideas. the studio was founded in 2014. the head of the studio, diana, quickly managed to collect more than two thousand in her portfolio during her work. one of the main missions of the studio is the preservation of cultural heritage, namely the creative reproduction and transmission of material and spiritual values. they know a lot about the production of luxury glass

gifts. well, let's find out right now. diana good afternoon good afternoon in your studio for 8 years you are its leader. tell me at all how the idea to create such an unusual unique studio came about. and why exactly the glass wanted it to be something unusual, in general from the very beginning. i'm addicted to stained glass. it is very tempting indeed. you cut pieces of colored glass, then you grind them down, and then you stand and solder them. this is generally just amazing technology, but very harmful in fact. this is a very harmful production for health, since this lead, which is released, is not excreted from the body. and in our country, unfortunately, now in many studios. it is rare that safety precautions are observed when working with tiffany stained-glass windows and since it is very harmful now we are all for a healthy lifestyle and we all want to be healthy and live 100 years, i turned

my attention to another production no worse, but in refraction to the idea , probably even better, because in tiffany you can only make a plane. you make up these glasses, but here the red glass ends, the green glass begins, and that's it. but in fusing, you can combine structure with volume with shape, and this is very interesting, that's why i wanted to. so i retrained and began to do physics. your craftsmanship is a true work of art. tell us who your creative team is. girls, i'm not the inspirer , i'm always really and ideas arise in my head, in general, completely unexpectedly. i can look at something. it seems to me that if this is changed, it will be improved, something interesting will appear. girls, in principle, in a professional they have three really educations. they begin to study with art schools. and glory

god, we have a very strong art school in belarus, then they go to glebovka, and then the whole thing is soft. leaving the academy of our artistic diana, her eye falls on this beauty, which is now on the table, these are the plates of the box. here. tell us what technology is the most difficult to manufacture from this. the most difficult thing is these caskets, the newest development, the newest form, and it is wildly complex, because. here it would seem. well, this one is here, but it combines 4 glass technologies, firstly, it all starts with the fact that this bottom is completely cast and it is first poured for this for a long period of time before you see the product. it would seem that. here the christmas tree is first developed form. a model is made, then a lot of test instances are made. then e form should be free to go in, it should be. well, you put on the table there should not be

any gaps, and the caskets are generally our pain, because now the shape is very complex and initially the glass is poured into this casket. here so that everything is good in this box. she was flat. she came out freely, then we tested her from this form and went to our scientists. six months for the academy of sciences. next comes other glass technologies. you see, further here, there is already fusing and left , each of these balls is initially made on a burner, each of these rays. this is taken a piece of sheet glass exposed on the burner. and just like that, by hand, she, like a sculptor, modulates every detail. that is, when you see the lid seems to be both beautiful and how easy, as a matter of fact. yes, the production of this cap is a very long way to make such a product, sometimes it takes up to a week, because glass. this is such a material, it is very sensitive in

fact, and it does not allow you to heat it up and cool it down and everything was fine with it. these are certain technological processes that, if you can’t stand it, then you heated the part, it quickly cooled down or suddenly became like it. cold probably cracked, and then you start to do everything first, therefore, work with glass. she is so very meticulous and very gentle. you can't be hysterical. you must be calm and concentrated doing. everything needs to be clearly defined. for example, in our products flowers. so it's a whole lot of magic. indeed it is generally so long of a painstaking process. that's when she starts making points for herself. she first makes each petal separately, you see, and we don’t use our work from the word at all, that is, here glass of different fractions and glass of different fractions, respectively, but it heats up differently and now she needs to slowly, slowly, carefully every

movement, heat this glass, dip it somewhere, press it with a press, squeeze it out so that you see each petal is as if alive. well, then such beautiful products are obtained, and then all this is annealed in the stove and you can use it. the studio employs real professionals in their field, the masters master all the techniques of working with glass, the result of which is an original and original picture with the character of individual charisma creative process reminiscent of the magic of the foundation, which is painstaking work, high qualification and impeccable taste of the product, which is impressive, in addition to inspiration and the hands of the creator, it requires the participation of high-quality materials, the right tools of advanced technology and modern technologies. what is

the true magic of glass, we learn from the master designer of the studio, yana sycheva. yana good afternoon, we are in a creative workshop. please tell us why among all kinds of creativity. you have chosen to work with glass for me glass. eh, when i was choosing my future profession, it was something that i didn’t know absolutely anything at all , and therefore it attracted me and brought me here. you feel in the academy, uh, in the department of glass in order. uh, i realized that this is my life. tell me about the process. it is very interesting. here you come to the workplace. and what do you need in order to create? well, of course, in addition to glass, and our process of work, from beginning to end, is first the creation of an idea, the creation of a sketch, and then the execution takes place already in glass, and there are samples, and sometimes

good there are failures, but more victories, of course, there are different types of frosted colored glass. even i read somewhere and there is a smart glass that you use in your work. we use colored glass, which is designed specifically for fusing, stained glass window glass. it's not about us. although it can also be used. as soon as i entered your workshop, i noticed this rack with multi-colored jars. tell me what these jars are. and this is a crumb of fret glass. also can be called, and when the leaf the glass is simply broken, and then it is sieved to obtain various fractions, large to fine to completely dusty, depending on the need. e artistic design uses such crumbs. it enriches the work. this gives you the option not to use it. only cut glass. and how to

make more transitions more texture, there is a technique, and there is uh, technology and no matter how technology you get around, if you know that uh, well, if you take glass and poke your finger, it will cut you. eh, so this has to be done carefully. and the same the most about other processes, if you put it on that program, otherwise something will happen to the glass. it's not good, but there is technology, and there is technique - this is how the master, how the artist manages his workflow. and this already has its own skill. e your talent and this is what distinguishes the work of each artist, because, in principle, you will not move away, but you can control them, in general , it takes time to just get bored in the process of creativity. no, we are all very dynamic and even if someone thinks what to lay out the glass. this

very monotonous work very scrupulous. but that is not so. i on our viewers will be interested to know how your ideas are born from sketches to the finished product. let's get started. let's what are we going to do now? tell us, and we will make a glass christmas tree, but for the new year's table. i will show you a small piece, but in order for you to understand how this happens. to begin with, i lay out, uh, the basis of the leaves in this sketch, and the sheets with berries and with such curls. according to the sketch, basically and according to my instinct, i lay out the elements of the main lines, then curls. now we are decorating our christmas tree, yes, we are adding berries such drops, each is individually handmade. now i propose to fill in the background, according to which it will be further

, uh, lay out the leaves. the main thing is not to destroy what you have already done, so that the crumb does not get where it is not needed and does not break the element. well, now i got it, but we take it, then we take it, and when in the end you already collect it. all the product that you then do with it. this plate goes through two lobbies on the first all the main elements are seized, and on the second firing the form bends and you see the product as it is. our christmas tree is in the oven and will be baked for 14 hours, we send it on the road. if a

glass product is broken, it is more likely that it will not be glued together, but you can send it for recycling. glass is one of the few materials that can be 100% recycled. at the same time, without losing its quality. while the period of its decomposition reaches 1 million years, there is in the world the most thick and incredibly strong glass is found in the sydney aquarium, its thickness is 26 cm, and the screen dimensions are 7x4 m. however, for larger aquariums, acrylic panels are used, the largest acrylic panel that got into the guinness book of records set in the aquarium in dubai has a size of eight 32 m and thickness 75 cm. glass. just everywhere it takes on different types and forms, and its scale is sometimes amazing. about

modern designers and masters of glass art never cease to amaze us with new creative products and luxurious interior items, individual solutions are what make any glass product in demand, art work is a unique story that was once born in a fire and will not be repeated again, because today it is really exclusive to have an exclusive. fashionable. be unique, enjoy the beautiful more often and follow the fashion trends in the cultural life of our country alina was not at war with you and remember to be cultured - it's fashionable see you in a week before new cultural meetings.
