The Great Australian Glass Roll-Up
Like almost everything done in glass, roll-up has ancestors in Venice. But it differs markedly from classical Venetian pick-up technique in a couple of ways.

And second, the kilnformed glass plate, which will eventually be rolled up into the hot-worked vessel or other form, can be created slowly and with more attention to detail and expression than is usually possible under the rapid demands of the hot shop.
