2009 - 03 Cast Boro "Cityscape"

Posted by Andrew Brown on 4/12/2009

After over a year of experimenting with color compatibilities, kiln schedules and finishing processes, the results are well worth the effort and wait. "Cityscape" was ready just in time to premier at the International Flameworking Conference at Salem Community College in New Jersey. The response was immediate and wonderful.The piece includes flameworked milli,cast boro, sandcarving, grinding/wheel carving,and electroformed copper. Measures 10.5
inches in height, 5 1/8 inches at its widest point and 17mm deep
