Creative Process
The piece has been constructed on a circular base using small pieces of coloured glass of varying thickness. It is then fired in a kiln to just the temperature to leave a raised contour in the design. In the next stage the gold lustre design is added. On a second and final firing the piece is placed on a narrow circular mould around which the glass can drape forming the distinctive asymmetrical shape which looks different from every angle. Each firing process can take up to 24 hours to complete and every time the glass is fired it is cooled slowly and annealed for long enough to give it durability and strength.
As these are hand made and draped in the kiln they are not symmetrical but unique one of a kind pieces!
