Experimenting with vintage lace trapping it between two layers of glass
Once fired
as you can see this didn't quite work out! the reason for the lace still being visible is because of the natural fibre in the lace even throw it didn't work out they are different and it proves that you can combine textiles and glass literally.........
Work goES In THE KilN...
These coasters are one of my favourite things i do, take a lot of time but i feel they are unique in the designs i make for them and a great gift i also package them as a set of four or sell them individually, if some one just wants one as a smaller gift.
Using cold worked processes in glass sandblasting,fire polishing and hand cutting of designs i produce these as part of my 'bread and butter range' even though each is unique in design i make these often as they sell well and i enjoy the designing process as i don't often get the chance to draw being an applied artist its all about making :-)
The Finished Product.
