Blown Glass
Series of blown tri-coloured vessels with a sculptural formation within. Molten clear glass is gathered from a furnace on a hollow blowing iron, it is shaped into a small pointed bubble, colour is then added and more clear glass is gathered over the top. The membrane is then put in to give a double chambered form. […]
My final degree show focused on revealing the hidden internal space of my blown work. I created shell like forms in the hot glass work shop that I spent time cutting away the outside. By revealing this space I created a link between the passage of time evolution and our own mortality.
In 2011 I completed the Hot Glass Techniques Course at Bournemouth and Poole College. Here I developed my blown work further by looking more into creating a sculptural form within a functional piece.
