Creative Process

The piece has been made by firing layers of coloured glass into a circle. The glass has then been fired pressed between two kiln shelves to help the colours flow into each other and create new colours. On a third and final firing the piece is placed on a narrow circular mould around which the glass can drape forming the distinctive ‘Handkerchief’ shape. Each firing process can take up to 14 hours to complete and every time the glass is fired it is cooled slowly and annealed for long enough to give it durability and strength. 

As these are hand made and draped in the kiln they are not completely symmetrical but unique one of a kind pieces!
