Pacific Northwest Underwater Scene 2008-09

PACIFIC NORTHWEST UNDERWATER SCENE

My latest casting is one of two panels of a Pacific Northwest Underwater Scene .... It is made of 100% glass.... most people have a hard time believing that the shells were made using glass, they look so real ...
I am expecting to sell them to a resort or restaurant ....as a divider panel or lobby art....

each panel is 16 " sq... a custom made metal stand will hold each panel so they could be displayed side by side ... I am waiting for our 2 week snow storm to be over before I risk the other panel in the kiln, I don't want the electricity to go out while I am firing my kiln as it takes 5-6 days in the kiln fire this new work....
$2000.00 each


BELOW DETAIL SHOTS OF THE PANEL

bottom left corner

Below is the plaster /silica casting mold loaded with 15 lbs of glass waiting to go into the kiln

the plaster mold was made of my clay relief sculpture. The clay is then removed from the mold and the mold dried for a couple of months to make it strong and the glass powder is packed in the particular areas that I want defined e.g. the shells, this method is called Pate de verre, then layers of larger pieces of glass are stacked on top to evenly fill in the panel when the temperture inside the kiln reaches 1550 degrees f. and the glass is a flowing liquid

the glass filled mold is then placed in the kiln and I have programmed the kiln to fire for five days to correctly melt and anneal the glass to be a single piece of very strong glass ..... so much fun.... I am very happy with the results of this piece and am looking forward to doing many more.... hope you like it too

Peace Janet

A wonderful British Columbia woman from the Warm Glass website has started a project for next years' Glass Artists Society ( GAS) Glass fashion show at Corning N.Y. in 2009.... she has asked glass artists from all over the world to submit leaves to be placed on a metal tree maker of the tree is from Calgary he does wonderful trees....the leaves are to represent people who have done battle with cancer, some have lost the battle, some have won, and some are still fighting the battle.....after the fashion show the leaves will be auctioned off and the proceeds will go to cancer research... I was thrilled to be part of this project. below the maple leaves I made and sent to Lesley.... I cast the leaves they are approx 3"sq. Lesley added the hardware love what she did with them
