Opalescent 3 sided faceted triangle

28 x 11.5 x 6.5cm

2004

Some of the glass we make is fused one way up then when finished, are turned a different way up

So what was the bottom become the top or the side

Most of these triangular shaped pieces are made in a simple mould with the glass vertical but slightly sloping and the piece laid horizontal

Some of them are made from different sized pieces of glass which give more parallel layers

Or as in this one, all the glass is the same size 75x75mm so pooling out to give undulating layers

This is then fused until fairly flat, the largest face is then at the top

After fusing, the flat areas are ground and polished with the edges sometimes smooth or left fairly rough
