Hiking California

Posted on by

The Hiking California series is composed of glass tiles varying in size.  I collect seeds, leaves, rock, sticks and other elements when I go hiking.  Back in my studio, I make a mold of the pieces I collected on my hike. Then I pour wax into the mold material and I have a wax copy.  From there I build a tile that is cast into a glass reminder of my favorite places to hike.

Pate de Verre Bowls

Posted on by

The bowls in this series are made using a pate de verre process that uses glass frit to build a thin sided bowl.  For a description of how these bowls are made go to “Project Notes”.   I learned how to make these thin sided frit blows from Alicia Lomne.  Check out her website at www.alicialomne.com.

The “birds in flight” pattern on the out side of the bowl is a native american coil basket pattern.  The inside of the bowl invokes a starry night inspired by Van Gogh.
