Corning
Well, I'm back from the Corning Museum of Glass - Studio where I took a Kiln Cast Jewerly course with Jane Persico. I loved The Studio - great people, amazing facilities and the museum is so deeply inspiring. I think what I will value most about my course is not the end product - some kiln cast bracelets and small cast pendants/sculptural pieces - but the process. I learned sooo much about casting and mold making and I think it will serve me well.

Tree
"Hello Tree"
January 2009
I love trees - love drawing them, painting them, talking to them so it's no big surprise that I'd want to create a few in glass. It was an interesting piece to work on because I layered so many small pieces of glass I thought I'd made a really solid base but when it fired and contracted, it was much more lacy than I'd anticipated. I really like it and would use the technique again and know now just how thick I can pile up the glass and it won't be too thick.
Pic 1- before it's fired - you can see the layers of small pieces of glass
Pic 2 - fired and hanging in the window
