When you need a double rainbow – for double the luck!
Description
A fused glass double rainbow curve – for when you, or someone else, needs the luck of the rare double rainbow.
Each strip of glass is handcut and then fused together (after lots of double checks of the correct order!) to over 1200F. It then comes out of the kiln, the edges checked and then back in to slump in a gentle curve. This can then stand on its own upright or form a ‘bridge’ but either way – try to put this where the sun can play with it.
Dimensions (when standing)
Height: 16.5 cm
Side to side: 19 cm
Depth of curve: 5 cm
Care: handwash 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.
