Description: | This is an example of 'p��te de verre', meaning literally glass paste. 'P��te de verre' is made from crushed glass mixed with a binding agent such as wallpaper paste. This mixture is packed into a mould and heated in a kiln to fuse the glass particles. The technique dates back to the ancient Egyptians, although as its name suggests, 'p��te de verre' is more commonly associated with France historically. This is one in a series of works by this maker, which were inspired by the volume of the sea. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | craft made in the North East glass makers contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
