Slices

This week I have been experimenting with cutting and polishing; these are slices of my wood  blown vessels. The orange piece is a straight slice, where as the teal piece is a slightly diagonal cut, this allows you to see more of the texture as well as the organic ring of colour. I am not yet sure of the best way to present these, and will continue to experiment with them, potentially making jewellery or some sort of wall decoration.

Creative and Professional Development

These pieces are carrying on from the personal project, I am focusing on texture in my work, and am continuing to blow into wood moulds, however I am trying to push my practice as a glass maker into a more sculptural form, rather than making vessels. Here I have been experimenting with light and opaque colour to see how the piece reflects the texture. I plan to combine the wood, glass and light elements to create one piece.
