Vessels

I love making gravity formed vessels – this involves making a “blank” – a glass tile made of cut up sheet glass and any accessory glass such as powders or shapes made from glass pulled in the heat of a flameworking torch.  Once the blank is fired it is then placed in the kiln at height on a ring-shaped mould which, during firing, the glass drops through to make a vase or bowl shaped vessel with a beautiful, unique design.
