Fused glass bird on a wire – three tealight holder
Description
A handcut piece of fused glass which has had pink, purple and green powder applied and then fired in the kiln. When cooled, it is screen printed with black enamel showing a hawk sitting on a fence post waiting to go off and find food. The fencing is barbed wire so quite rustic in nature.
Please note – the enamel has been fired but a lot of effort with a metal scouring pad will do damage – so the advice is to gently hand wash when needed.
There are three tealights behind the glass which sits in a slot (firmly but can be removed) – and they are very effective when lit – as if the sun is about to come up.
Dimensions:
Glass: 23 cm x 17,5 cm
Base: 25.5 cm x 11 cm x 2 cm
Care: handwash glass when 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.
