Mark Rothko on the "recipe of a work of art," lecture at the Pratt Institute, 1958:

There must be a clear preoccupation with death—intimations of mortality… Tragic art, romantic art, etc. deals with the knowledge of death.

Sensuality. Our basis of being concrete about the world. It is a lustful relationship to things that exist.

Tension. Either conflict or curbed desire.

Irony. This is a modern ingredient—the self effacement and examination by which a man for an instant can go on to something else.

Wit and Play..for the human element.

The ephemeral and chance…for the human element.

Hope. 10% to make the tragic concept more endurable.

the world is running out of glassblowers and yet you want to become a fucking doctor

[sniperserpent]

One of the most jarring moments of my university education was in a physics class when I was given a device that measures gravity and was told “this cost the university sixteen thousand dollars, but the only glass blower in the world who could make the glass springs inside it died so it’s literally irreplaceable. If you drop it those springs will shatter. Go fuck around with it for a day and take some measurements”

[bonsaisboneyard]

If you are truly interested in becoming a scientific glassblower, Salem Community College in New Jersey has a 2 year associates degree program for it, and if you actually complete it, you’re practically guaranteed a job in the field if you want one.

Scientific Glass Technology | Salem Community College

The program is amazing. I spent a year in that program before getting into an MFA program. If you really want to learn how to flamework glass, there is no better place to do so IMO.

A weird quirk about that program is that it also attracts a number of pipe makers (at least when I went there in the mid 2010s).

10/10 would definitely recommend.
