Silver birches in autumn – a fused glass panel
Description
A ‘wave’ or S shaped curved piece of fused glass – with a textured representation of silver birches in autumn.
The background trees are added with glass powder, covered with clear glass and then fired in the kiln to help create the illusion of depth. The grass and foreground trees are then added along with the foliage and these are taken to a slightly lower temperature in the kiln so they have texture but are smooth to the touch.
Out of the kiln, quality check and then back in to create the curve shape – this piece stands firmly on its own, As it is multiple layers of glass, it is heavier than it may look but has been annealed in the kiln to make it as sturdy as possible whilst still being glass.
Dimensions:
Length: 22 cm
Height: 18 cm
Max depth of curve: 2.5 cm
Care: handwash as needed.
Hi! I’m Kate and I’m a part-time glass artist from Desford, Leicestershire. I have been glass fusing now for over 4 years and have a small studio space at home.
For me, glass is addictive – the colour and the way that light sends patterns through it. There is nothing quite like the feeling of opening the kiln lid – and it worked! It doesn’t always but you can always ‘make lemonade from lemons’ and recycle the glass – even the tiniest piece can be used.
The glass I use comes, mainly, as sheet glass which is then cut (by hand and sometimes saw) but I also use glass powder, glass frit (coarse powder – think caster sugar up to seasalt in size) and murrini (specially shaped very small glass pieces created by very talented people).
I tend to make either geometric pieces (my ‘other’ job is teaching maths) or nature (my other love). No piece will ever be identical to another even if I use the same colours – but you will get the piece in the photo. This is why there is only ever ‘one available’.
I hope my glass brings colour and a smile into your home- and that you will be able to enjoy it for years to come. If you are gifting, then I hope it makes them smile too.
