New Glass

What a happy accident, this turned out to be a spectacular piece of glass. I titled it Deep Water, it is a 17 diameter shallow bowl. I wanted to use as much of the sheet of glass as possible so I fused a sheet of clear on top and had the circle cut with a water jet. I then polished the edge and slumped it. There are very small air bubbles trapped between the layers of glass, so when either the sun shines on the edge or you shine a light on the edge these bubbles pop out as little golden "stars" in the glass. This piece is at Freed Gallery -Lincoln City, OR for $280..
