Description: | Blown-glass can be either free blown, controlled by the rotation of molten glass on the end of a blowing iron or alternatively, it can be blown into a pre-made mould. Christopher Williams blows his vessel shapes into steel moulds, allowing greater control over the final form. The royal blue of the rim and handle is rich in comparison with the rest of the jug, indicating that the rim and handle were not part of the blown body but additional lengths of glass applied to the main form. Other examples of work by Christopher Williams feature handles and rims made from combinations of coloured glass such as green with blue. | 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 |
