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

? served as straw or reed, formed during the combustion of ash, that is, alkali at high temperature contact with sand gave glass some people consider glass to be a by-product of copper smelting, but there was an ancient writer, the historian of plenios the elder, who believed that we owe glass to the phoenician merchants, who during the stopovers made 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 temperature on the sand and african soda and formed glass currently, the world produces about 20 billion tons of glass per year. and when this glass falls into the skillful hands of craftsmen, 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 bring to life 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 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 us 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 you cut out pieces of colored glass, then you grind them , and then you stand and solder. 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 we, unfortunately, now here 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

other production is no worse, and in terms of 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 and shape, and this is very interesting, so he 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 me and money the inspirer is always me, in fact, and ideas arise in my head, generally quite 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 thank god we have a

very strong art school in belarus, then they go to glebovka, and then the whole thing is mild. coming out of the academy our artistic diana's 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 racks, the newest development on the newest form, and it is wildly complicated, because. here it would seem. well, this one, 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 seemed would. 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. this is how everything is good in this box. she was flat. she came out freely, then we tested her from this form and went to our scientist from the academy of sciences for six months. next comes other ten-colour technologies. you see, further here , fusing and lemforg are already in progress. 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 modulates every detail like a sculptor. that is, when you see the lid, it seems how beautiful and how easy it really is. yes , the production of this cap is a very long way to make such a product takes sometimes 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 it suddenly became cold, and it cracked and then you start to do everything all over again, therefore working with glass. she is so very meticulous and very gentle. you can't be hysterical. you must be calm and concentrated does. 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. at first she 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 in different ways and now she

needs to slowly, slowly, carefully dip this glass with every movement click somewhere with a press, you 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. we continue to discover new cities and neighborhoods from this hill. orsha begins its report on its almost thousand-year history, a breathtaking view and amazing energy, we show the author's routes and the most mysterious places, the flow of pilgrims is inexhaustible and miracles really happen

numerous facts of healing the suffering direct to confirm this, the main sights and unique architectural monuments in the city are several at least four, there is even such a riddle . ether 24/7 is a project in which within 20 minutes you will learn more about the key events of the past week, which received the largest number of your likes on our social networks. take exciting online trips to the most picturesque corners of belarus and make your own rating of the tv project in documentaries and serials that should be watched every friday evening. the studio employs

true 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. the hands of the creator requires the participation of quality materials, the right tools, advanced techniques 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 chose my future profession, it was something that i didn’t know absolutely anything at all, and therefore it attracted me and brought me here. do you feel at the academy uh na pulpit glass lest. eh, i realized that this is my life. tell me about the process. this 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 work process from beginning to end is first the creation of an idea, the creation of a sketch, and then the execution is already in glass, and there are tests, and there are good ones, failures, but more victories, of course, there are different types of glass matte color. even i read somewhere and there is smart glass, what are you use in your work e we use

colored glass, which is designed specifically for fusing, stained glass window bottle. 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. uh, when the beetroot leaf is simply broken, and then it is sifted into 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 you get around the technology, 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 thing about other processes, if you put it on that program, otherwise something will happen to the glass. e is not good, but there is technology, and there is technology 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, you had this 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 is a very monotonous work, very scrupulous. but that is not so. i on our tv 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'll show you a little piece so that you understand how it happens. to begin with, i lay out, uh, the basis of the leaves on this sketch, and the sheets with berries and with such curls. according to the main sketch, and according to my instinct, i lay out the elements of the main lines. quite curls. now we are decorating our christmas tree, yes, we are adding berries such drops, each handmade individually. now i propose to fill in the background, on which we will continue, 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 it’s hit, but we’ll remove it later, and when in the end you already assemble the entire product, it’s worth it, then

you do it with it. this plate goes through two firings ; on the first firing, all the main elements are set, and on the second firing, the shape bends and you see the product as it is. our christmas tree is in the oven and will bake for 14 hours, we send it on its way. if a glass product is broken, it is more likely that you can’t glue it, but glass can be sent for recycling, this is one of the few materials that

can be 100% recycled without losing its quality, while its decomposition period reaches 1 million years there is in the world and the thickest and incredibly durable glass is in the sydney aquarium, its thickness is 26 cm, and the screen size is 7x4 m. however, for larger aquariums, acrylic panels are used, the most a large acrylic panel that got into the guinness book of records installed in the aquarium in dubai has a size of 8x32 m and a thickness of 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 - this is what

makes any glass product in demand, art work is a unique story, who was once born in fire and will not be repeated. again, today, having an exclusive is a real thing. 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 cultural - this is one see you in a week before new cultural meetings.

unique ecography and unusual architectural solutions the shape of our dome is very unique, it is made of two domes in the form of a knight's helmet, interesting facts from art experts and on icons similar to iconography depict the most holy theotokos, who gently hugs the baby, and he hugs his mother by the neck. and, of course , in this touching tenderness, there are also tragic notes of the help of god's word, the healing power of prayer is depicted with bodily eyes, we ascend to the heavenly world with spiritual eyes. often , through the holy icons, god gives people his help, routes through the prayerful and holy places of belarus and navahrudok and regions. and all this makes it possible for us to turn again to our history without history.

in principle, we cannot now, as a people, so it's great that we are returning to the origins of our nation. look, spiritual and educational projects on belarus 24 tv channel. everything starts from the origins and traditions of the memory of our ancestors. preservation of the culture of belarusian rituals and crafts but the world is changing. changes generations views and creativity does not stand still. when people realize the value of traditions and understand where to move on, art acquires new ones.
