Want a custom-made Na'vi Dire-like creature from the movie Avatar? Watch the vid to see Angelo Rossi mold one in about two minutes out of molten glass.
It looks like he's just lazily pushing and pulling searing hot strands of glass around, but suddenly, voila—a colour-infused equine as a tribute to the film Avatar (even if it doesn't have six legs).
While I was fact-checking info about Maestro Angelo Rossi Glass Blowing Studio & Galleria for an article on Queen Street in Niagara Falls, Rossi's spouse told me that after a nearby screening of Titanic over a decade ago, director James Cameron and his crew stopped by. The artist whipped up a model of the sinking ship on the spot and handed it over.
Cameron, you have a another piece of glass art with your name on it waiting to be picked up.
