Posted by Allan on 7/19/2006
I love the colors and textures that are possible with fused glass art. There’s a surprise every time I open the kiln. Hot glass flows in unexpected ways that both enhance and thwart the artist’s intent. Colors change under heat and interact with each other. My styles include glass weaving, bubbles embedded in glass, complex line mosaics, and dynamic patterns

Laminated and coldworked glass. It takes a lot of work, but the results are worth it.

Glass Weaving

Glass Weaving

Weaving glass is a technical challenge, particularly for kiln temperature control. So far my weave colors have been compared to Autumn, Girl Scout woven potholders, old braided rugs, and Granny's woven skirt suit. What a nice combination of memories. The latest image is in cathedral glass. To me it brings back memories of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.

Pattern Bars in Motion

I try for dynamic effects with pattern bar work, avoiding static repetition of a pattern.

Jewelry Abstracts

Jewelry Abstracts

When I'm done with a large, complex project I find that making jewelry a relaxing activity. Each of my pieces is a small, unique work of abstract art. The possible variations are incredible.

Bubble Work

Bubble Work

I focus on interactions between embedded bubbles and irridescent glass surfaces. The multiple reflections are like faceted jewels.
