Description

The central idea of this creative project was to understand and merge glass with ceramic sculpture. The focus of the research was to understand the structure of glass, the structure of ceramics, and how they react with each other when heat is introduced. Additional research of this project has required a combining of understanding the historical origins and technical accomplishments of glass, and how it relates to ceramics. Fusing glass and ceramic sculpture without the use of an adhesive has proven successful. Vigorous experimentation has led to the creation of a series of fused glass and ceramic sculptures. By developing a process of merging ceramics and glass I have utilized a largely unexplored technique.
