On the Edge Exhibition part 2.

 

Moment-Sean Campbell

This is kiln fused glass, the photos don’t do the glass justice, there are layers of colour, possibly enamels. Look at the detail and you will have some idea of how much is going on.  Has anyone done tests using tin oxide between glass? Just a thought.

Will Sheakspeare - Hot cast glass

Low Tide Quins (detail) Will Shakspeare

 

 

 

 

 

 

The detail on this hot casting by Will Shakspeare shows inclusions of copper wire and dichroic glass with glass trails (they look like worm casts) where the molten glass had started to cool when being poured. This process takes a long time and the glass has to be kept hot thru each successive layer.

Colin Reids work is exceptional, the photos aren’t wonderful but you can just see the suggestion of the veil running thru. the piece the second photo shows how the polished glass mirrors the image in the copper oxide casting, there are more duplications according to where you stand. You can just make out the scroll work from the neck of the violin he cast and part of the sound box. I wish I were rich I’d go to one of his workshops, oh for money!
