Wall Art - Red Lava

Red lava is my most unique piece of wall art as it took many processes to create. It started with many different colors of glasses - yellow, red, black, orange, and various shades of blue that are melted into a pattern bar. Once the bar is melted in the kiln, it is then cut and broken into many small pieces. Those pieces are then put back into the kiln in a round mold to create a random pattern of colors. Next it is put back into the kiln with weight on it to compress it to less than 1 mm thick. It is then hand sanded to a smooth finish and intentionally broken into six pieces. Finally those six pieces are arranged on a piece of red glass and fired in the kiln to create dimension between the top layer and the bottom layer of glass. This piece has a gloss finish.  

Dimensions - 8 1/2" diameter, 1/4" thick, stand off makes it stand 1" 1/4" from wall. It weighs 1 lb. 1.6 ounces. Each piece is handmade so slight variations in dimensions and finish exist.

Materials - Fused glass, stainless steel wall mount. Hardware and mounting instructions included.
