woven glass

Since I juried into the TORPEDO FACTORY ART CENTER as a fiber artist, all my work was originally creating silk garments and wall hangings. Fascinated by the bright glass colors, I borrowed a kiln and learned how to create glass flowers to embed in concrete in my garden. Since I sold my work in a fiber gallery, where everything had to be either fiber or a fiber technique, I started experimenting to see if I could weave glass. At the same time another artist also started making woven glass, but his was a very tight weave where mine is very loose using the open spaces as a design choice.

This closeup photo shows the actual weave, where the color glass on the bottom is on top of the other color glass on either side.
