"Ancient Sands"

I used multiple encalmos, graal and powders to try to achieve a layered, desert effect. The skull stopper is hollow, so the piece wouldn't be top heavy. The graal stem symbols are from cave drawings. approximately 18" tall. This piece was juried for the 1st All Texas Glass Exhibit at the Galveston Arts Center March 5 thru April 17th.

Glass found Menzies in 1998, after a brief stint searching for his future mentor, Bob Snodgrass in Eugene, OR. The next eighteen months were spent moving between Eugene and Seattle, honing technique while working as a production flameworker, before moving back to Texas.

Menzies found expression and fascination in the art of the marble. The optical & magnification qualities of borosilicate glass demands great attention to detail.

Wil teaches flameworking workshops around the world as well as his studio in rural East Texas.He and his wife also publish The Flow, a journal dedicated to the art and craft of flameworking.
