Thank you for visiting, I hope that you enjoy my original, one of a kind, contemporary kiln formed (fused) glass creations.
Glass is beautiful in its brilliance of color, transparency and reflective qualities. It lasts thousands of years but lives in the moment reflecting the ever changing lighting conditions of the different environments it occupies.
Whether it is jewelry, sculpture, a wall panel or functional item, several hours over several days may be involved selecting, cutting, manipulating and assembling the combination of colors and shapes that catch the artist’s eye. Each glass artwork
is comprised of 2 or more layers of specially made glass having a coefficient of expansion of 90. The work in progress is fired in a glass kiln one or more times over several days to temperatures ranging from 1325 to 1500 degrees, depending upon the desired result, annealed and later cold worked as needed. Each firing in the kiln may take as few as 10 hours, or many many more hours, it just depends on the thickness and complexity of the layers.
Glass is challenging to work with, but oh, so delightful when it works. It is a demanding and often unforgiving medium.
You will draw attention and many compliments wearing your dichroic glass pendant. Each is an original, one of a kind miniature art glass painting or sculpture to be worn and enjoyed in one’s daily life. The look is dynamic “eye candy” --
dichroic glass appears different colors when viewed in different lighting or from different angles – it is “Art on the Move” or “Art in Motion.”
Dichroic glass transmits one color and reflects another. It is difficult to photograph because of that -- so please be aware that colors may appear differently on different computer monitors.
Thank you for purchasing an affordable piece of art!
