Description: | This piece comprises blown glass and kiln-cast glass elements. The green globular shape was blown whilst the solid blue base was kiln-cast. Blowing glass involves taking an amount of molten glass from a furnace with a heated blowing iron. The shape is formed by blowing down the tube of the iron whilst rotating, or alternatively, blowing the glass into a pre-made mould. The base is patterned from the surface of the mould used in the kiln-casting process. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East craft glass makers contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
