Process: Inside-out glassblowing
is a method to create intricate designs within a glass vessel. The glassblower
applies layers of coloured glass to the interior of a vessel. These layers are
then manipulated, shaped, and blown to reveal the hidden design on the outer
surface.
Use: This technique is employed
to create visually captivating and complex designs within glass vessels, vases,
or sculptures.
Observations: During the
inside-out process, glassblowers closely observe the layers of glass, ensuring
the desired pattern is maintained and expanded to the outer surface.
Cognitive Processes: Glassblowers
must visualise the final design and consider the impact of the layers they
apply to the interior. They make decisions about when and how to shape the
glass to reveal the hidden design.
Perceptual Stimuli: Visual
perception is crucial in inside-out glassblowing, as glassblowers must monitor
the colours, patterns, and textures within the glass. Tactile feedback comes
into play as they manipulate and shape the glass from the inside.
