Piece of the Day 03172024

Today’s Piece(s) of the Day are inside out handpipes with a difference: Plate Glass. Plate (aka ‘float’) glass is very common for soft glass, but not so much for borosilicate / pyrex. These pipes start out looking like the glass door in your oven. Brad draws a mirror image on what will become the inside, then melts the glass around a carbon mandrel before the shape is blown. The shapes and millies stay as melted, so the blower can draw a picture in Inside Out. ISO delivers depth and dimensionality of the work put into the inside of the glass as it is gathered down into the final shape. Chunky and a nice heft in hand. Indicate your choice by name in the cart wrap up notes; from left to right – Burning Man, Metamorphisis, 1776 (SOLD) and finally Beetlegeuse. Oops, found another! Spiderweb is the name, Black Widow Millies surround the Butterfly milli in the center of the web.

Piece of the Day 03172024 is the latest addition from a collection of very unique one of a kind Chameleon prototypes, archived and found during physical inventory models alongside local Arizona artist pieces that we’ve conserved and curated over the years. We’re now releasing them back into the wild. Each day I will load one on our website. Search Piece of the Day and check them out! When they’re gone, They’re Gone.
