Glass artist Michael Schunke creates a Skull Goblet Pt. 1 - The Skull

Michael Schunke is known internationally as The Goblet Ninja because of the speed and accuracy he displays while making blown glass goblets. Recently, he has been working on a series of lidded goblets with hot-sculpted skulls in the stem, and roses, or crows, or crossbones on the lids.

Michael and his partner Josie Gluck operate Vetro Vero studios out of an old dairy in souther Pennsylvania. For this goblet, the team have chosen to prepare a batch of bright blue glass for their color furnace. The entire skull is made out of blue glass, and then coated with a thin layer of clear glass powder, which takes a bit of the shine away from the glass (like when you apply foundation to your skin, or powder your nose).
