Our Friday Film this week is 'Torcher Tailor', the second performance from Torcher Chamber Arkestra.

Torcher Chamber Arkestra is a flameworking performance company, which was founded in 2010 by artist and chief conductor Carrie Fertig and is comprised of artists from sculptural, neon, scientific, and bead flameworked glass backgrounds. Torcher Chamber Arkestra combines fire, glass, music, and explosives to educate, engage and entertain.

The film was recorded on Saturday, August 25 2012, at the International Festival of Glass in Stourbridge. 'Torcher Tailor' explores the theme of Union: marital, political, and social, as Torcher Chamber Arkestra build a glass wedding dress live on a bride.
