Part of a video series which investigates the sculptor Dale Chihuly's
specific modes of working, Chihuly: River of Glass documents the wide
range of glass sculpture that embodies Chihuly's "Chihuly Over Venice"
project. The video transports viewers to Nuutajarvi, Finland, for a
glass-blowing session; to Waterford, Ireland, for the creation of green
spears; to Mexico, where Chihuly makes iridescent blossoms bloom; and
then to Venice for a feast of faceted crystal. Interviews with Chihuly
and his team shed light on the glass master's creative process, which
involves drawing, designing, and careful communication. ~ Betsy Boyd
