Glass Eye's artistic process is steeped in the beauty and mystery of glass from start to finish. We begin by applying immense heat to a mixture of sand to create molten glass. Each individual piece starts as a precise amount of glass on the end of a blowpipe or rod. The piece takes shape as the artist manipulates the glass with light but precise touches. After a quick fire-polish, the piece is brought to room temperature slowly, over a period of days. Some pieces are finished using diamond wheel grinders and polishing stones.
Each piece of glass shown is created by tin their studio in Seattle, Washington by artists and contains ash from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. |
