Dancing Calm

Dancing Calm

Helen loves three dimensional sculptures of frogs, rocks and shells and with her creative interpretation they become uniquely different. These rock sculptures have taken on wave forms and are derived from actual rocks. Through a process of rubber moulds and the lost wax process they have been cast in glass in colours that depict the land sea and sky where the rocks were found.
Helen uses the honeycomb mold technique to cast her glass sculptures, detail of mold on the next page or contact Helen.

The Honeycomb Mold

The Honeycomb Mold

The honeycomb mold enables intricate objects to be cast without sprues. It is stronger and lighter than the block mold. The plaster, silica and fiberglass construction is made in layers. Within those layers are walls and chambers that give the mold its strength.
Helen teaches the honeycomb technique internationally, her teaching schedule is listed on the events page of her web site.
