Form.
1' x 1/2' 1/2'.
Hand sculpted glass rings slumped together and red grog (fired clay) put inside
These were the first open face glass cast pieces that I did at CCAC.
I hot worked some glass and slumped it into molds.
Then I ribbed two pieces together with copper and hung it up.
Vadsteinar

The first clay cast glass I did that was not made in a hot shop.
Net Form.

around a frame made out of
