After super-heating a large bowl, Josh uses centrifugal force to "spin it open" to form a platter.

New Corona Glass!

As a material, Corona Glass - which Josh first developed in the 1980s - is almost completely unpredictable. Its appearance depends on controllable factors, like furnace temperature and oxygen level, and several other barely controllable factors such as room temperature and humidity, and ineffables like the will of the glass gods and the mood of the artist.

Here, the spin-out complete, Josh rushes to his bench to finish forming the now 22" diameter platter.

Working with this glass is quite a challenge, so of course Josh loves it! He continually micro-tweaks his formulas, always aiming to create more vibrant and interesting results. Today we feature a new collection of Corona platters and vases that are especially dramatic.

You'll also find other new Corona work throughout the website, including some sweet Corona Vortex Little Planets and Otherworlds.

Did you know that Josh is one of the best spoons players in the world? It's true! Want to find out even more personal stuff about him? Josh just zoomed for more than 2 hours with podcaster Shawn Waggoner, for a new episode of "Talking Out Your Glass." And one of these days pretty soon, you can tune into (do people "tune into" anything anymore? no?) this new episode of Season 9. It will be a fun, in-depth conversation with Josh, the master storyteller. When? We don't know. Shawn wouldn't say. But soon!

Josh playing spoons in the early-1970s...

...on stage with Paddy Maloney of the Chieftans in 2015...

...and still at it even now.

Podcaster Shawn Waggoner is also known as Shawntel Royale, lead singer in the Colorado-based blues band, Blue Recluse. You can tune into one of her performances on YouTube here. She's amazing!
