coldworked gypsea jewelry

Posted by Gypsea on 3/9/2007
flameworked/coldworked borosilicate jewelry.
these were formed on a mandrel with various layers of colors, clear, powders and frits, annealed in kiln, cut on a wet saw, polished on a lapidary wheel, reheated in a kiln, edges then smoothed in torch flame, reannealed, piece was then wired with sterling silver.

thanks to Andrew Brown / KBGlassworks for the inspiration for this style. theirs is the first coldwork that i ever saw pics of, and i was fascinated by the whole concept of it and just had to try something along those lines...

Gypsea
Kristen Pickett first began flameworking in Charlotte, N.C. more than twentyfive years ago, under the instruction of Richard McCleary of "The Lost Art". This artist's glassblowing co-op also operated the Glass Shop at Carowinds, a theme park on the border of the Carolinas. She continued her creative pursuit of expression through pottery, painting, and jewelry making while simultaneously balancing a nursing career and raising a family. Kristen now devotes the majority of her time to glassworking in her home studio on beautiful Jekyll Island, GA. Gypsea spirit prevailing, she travels frequently back and forth to her new studio in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. She enjoys the laidback tropical lifestyle and the jammin' music from her husband's band, The WharfRatz, of which she is also the managing agent.
