Not enough footage of how he actually makes those things.. too much talking about himself.

This was about the artist rather than an instructional video. I'm not a glassworker but I strongly suspect that an instruction video showing how to do just one leg of a spider properly would take way more time than is decent

For me, it struck the right balance.

I'm not looking for the instructional video but just to show his process in more detail...you know kinda like "How It's Made" show..

I thought that you could probably make three really interesting short films of about this length by expanding on the stories touched upon in this one. A longer version of researching and making one commissioned insect and more about what entomologists think about their commissions might be one of the three.

I think there is another glass sculpture vid on the sift about the glass artists from Venice, where he studied. If I can find it I'll add as related, and let you know.

The Venetian masters that Wesley studied with are Lucio Bubacco, and Vittorio Costantini... and the latter has previously featured in a video on the sift:

There is more of his work featured on mostlyglass.

Vittorio Costantini - Fantastic Glass Master has been added as a related post - related requested by oritteropo.

He's got two pieces available on Etsy right now.
