Spinning incalmo


You can't see, but this is the most amazing bit of incalmo spinning. In case you don't know, that means joining two blown sections while they are hot -- so this was twisted canes joıned to clear glass. There ıs a Turkish style of doing this that is different from the Venetian way; they rake it before twisting so you get swirly twists.
