It is a way to produce a “frosted” design on the surface of a piece of glass, but it is much more than that! It can also be used to carve a design deep into the glass or to produce a shaded design that looks like delicate airbrushing but is permanently etched in the glass.

The glass used is borosilicate, commonly known as Pyrex, familiar in cookware and chemistry equipment. Using no molds and few tools, rods and tubes of clear and color glass are shaped in the flame and then annealed in a kiln. Some of the items made in class could include jewelry, light catcher ornaments, vessels and sculptural pieces. This work is on a relatively small scale.

“Art Experience” for up to six people an hour where you select the colors, inside design, use of murrini and sit with the artist in a hot shop. After a demonstration, you will hold the punte (pipe), apply the frit (color), warm the weight several times, cut the hot glass and twist it around with artisan tools. You can select one to five colors for your paperweight and once the final layer of hot glass is applied, you will use the cherry blocks to shape the weight.
