This video sequence is part of a practice-led research that explorest the social and material actors in glassblowing practices. In this video the designer of the glass vessel under making is learning how to write on the clear glass blank with a blue glass stringer. During this process the designer becomes an apprentice glassblower. She also works as a research assitant in this project. The practitioner-researcher works as the designers gaffer for the vessel, as well as a master who is instructing the apprentice in learning a new skill. The four camera angles in the multiscreen video inform about different perspectives taken on the social and material actors in the study.
