Description
I combined shards of glass in browns and oranges, with just a hint of black, in a crucible with a hole in the bottom, heated it until the glass was molten and flowed out the bottom of the crucible, and allowed the taffy-like glass to spread across a ceramic shelf in my largest kiln.
To make the rim, I layered glass powders on a fabric-like surface, doused them in water so they’d stick together, and squeezed and bent the surface to form fissures that reminded me of bark and let both the layers of glass be visible.
Fused, sandblasted for a matte finish, and slumped.
