Coldwork Action!!!

  « Ben Burton's Gallery

(Faceted Glass Solids)

Coldwork Action!!! I don't get to do a lot of coldworking, but I really enjoy the end product after the hard and tedious grinding and polishing is done!!

While I was in Cali (August 2007) I got to work with Kaj Beck and I did some coldworking in his shop!! His work is tight and he had some sweet tips about the coldworking process which he shared with me!!! Check out my pieces!!

Aloha!

Aloha everyone! My name is Ben Burton and I've been lampworking since January of 1999. I work borosilicate primarily but I will occasionally work moretti as well. I consider myself a sculptural artist, although I enjoy making focal pendants and have recently become infatuated with making marbles too. I live on the island of O'ahu, Hawaii and my work is constantly influenced by the beauty around me!! I hope you take the time to check out and enjoy my work!!! Please feel free to leave comments or messages. Live Aloha!

Mahalo and Aloha!!
