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. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1975 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Cook | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
