Wall Art

These handmade, one of a kind wall art pieces are created using the compressed glass process. They are approximately 7 1/2" diameter and about 1/8" thick and stand off from the wall about 1". The term compressed refers to the process of how this style of glass is created. It starts with multiple hand cut pieces of different colors of glass each being 3 mm thick. The glass pieces are then stacked and a weight is placed on them and they are fired in the kiln. The weight compresses the glass to about 2 mm thick and creates new colors and patterns during the compression process. Once fired, each piece is hand sanded and then fired again at a lower temperature to give it a smooth matte finish. It is then adhered to a stainless steel stand off creating an original piece of art. Mix and match with the smaller coat hooks to create your own custom installation.
