Paperweights, Marbles, and Castings With Lampworked Inclusions

(AndrewJ.Pollack)

All of these solid pieces are fairly large, ranging from 2" diameter to 12" diameter. All of the images are lampworked and then either cast or encased. All of the murinne is hand made by me, unless otherwise noted.

No sub-pages or other galleries contained within this page. Just click here and scroll down for a collection of images of solid weight-like work.

All of these are part of my personal collection. Some are for sale and in my personal collection, while most I can make similar or custom. 2001-2005. Each signed and dated.

Devil with the face of an Angel * Featured Page *

Devil with the face of an Angel

(JulieR.Riggs)
This 10" panel was made during an experimental class I took at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. Our focus was a class project of a three panel depiction of the Divine Comedy. This was my first practice piece for the process we were experimenting with. I made the silhouetted figures flat on the torch with soft glass. In the hot shop I arranged powders and frits inside a graphite mold and hot glass was ladled over it then the figures were added, torched briefly and another layer of clear glass was ladled over them. The scene depicted is of a Devil holding his pitchfork up triumphantly displaying the severed head of the Angel.

Behind the honecomb is a layer of green gold, and red dichroic glass. The outside has a natural texture, that has been fumed with gold for a metalic effect. The piece measures 2.9"w x 1.5"h.

Amonite

(AndrewBrown)
This is a larger "specimin" version of the amonite pendants that i have made in the past. The face of the piece has been ground and polished to reveal the fossil like inside. The inside has bands of irridescent fumed frit, and blue gold splintered dichroic glass running underneath. The beveled edge gives this piece a lot of depth when viewed at different angles. The backside has been heavily textured, with frit and fumes, to mimick a unearthed fossil. it measures 3.25" tall and 2.45" wide ....Thanks for looking...

opal eye #2

(AndrewBrown)
Testing out a grey/ black backgound for taking pictures.. still have a little tweaking to do.. This is a request from a customer for another opal eye geode weight.. I changed this one up a bit and used some different colors.. the dichro is hidden in the background and pops from certian angles. There is a pear shaped gilson opal in the middle of a fumed lotus.. the layers of color include blue moon, ns yellow, and a mix of frits and fume for the outside....

copper encrusted meteor

(AndrewBrown)
This paperweight looks and feels like it fell from space. Frits and powders were used to create the many layers of yellow, blue, red , and organic tan. The piece was coldworked to reveal the blooming space lotus on the inside. The lotus style implosion holds a large white pear shaped gilson opal in the center. The outside has been coldworked to a smooth finish and then electroformed with copper. The heavily textured copper ranges in color from metallic red to a shimmering blue. This piece measures 2.25"

Back-lit Opal Collab

(AndrewBrown)
One more from the last time Troy Bennett and I got together. This one features a carved and electroformed raked relief on the back. The large cut face reveals a pear shaped gilson opal set over intricate fumed patterning. When held to a light, or put on a light base this one really glows...approx 3".
