Make A Striped Sculpture in Glass Artwork!

How enjoyable are these?  That is the proper approach to kich begin your love affair with glass artwork.  Let’s take pleasure in a while off and create one thing easy and chic!

They’re straightforward to make and each individual makes a special one, albeit, impressed by the identical idea.  Its the brand new workshop the place you may make a STRIPEY SCULPTURE!

You possibly can see my buddy right here and he or she’s simply completed making her very first sculpture in artwork glass.  She’s made a great deal of jewelry objects beforehand.  That is going to be superb when its fused.  I’ll solely tack fuse it for its first firing and a droop for its second firing.

One other individual got here and made a STRIPEY SCULPTURE which included some adventurine glass you could see beneath.  One other individual used the magical dichroic  glass of their stripey sculpture.  Some individuals use my child dots of glass of their design.  You select, your design, your day off, your sculpture!

Some individuals use a great deal of glass strips, some individuals use the little dots (that we name infants) that I’ve in my studio and a few individuals use stringers.  Every bit is so totally different.  Some individuals wish to use their glass masterpieces as an uncommon fruit bowl (the truth is most of them have determined they love them as fruit stripey sculpture.)

As you’ll be able to see, most of those designs are roughly 20 cms by 40cms and a few are taller than others.  Its as much as you what dimension you’d prefer to make.  The tiny one which I made as a child sampler is definitely solely about 8cms tall and its nonetheless 40cms lengthy.  This one contains adventurine blue (on the left hand edge) and a great deal of enjoyable glass “infants”.

Its cute isn’t it?  (That is the place you want a type of interrobang that I used to be speaking about in my earlier weblog.) ?!

You possibly can see that one individual minimize one of many buttons in half and integrated that into their design.  Typically the little buttons are odd styles and sizes – we’ve got a great deal of these out there so that you can play with.  All the pieces that’s within the studio is out there so that you can use.  This piece has the “infants” within the design in units of three in some locations.  It appears to be like good doesn’t it?

Different individuals add “stringers” to their piece as effectively. The probabilities are infinite.  Stringers are skinny strips of glass they’re much like a high quality straight piece of wire.  See picture right here.

These sculptures are straightforward to chop and a merely a stunning form.  E-book in to one among my scheduled workshops or alternatively get in contact with some dates you’d like to do that and e-mail me [email protected].

See you quickly!
