Making Waves

We've been in our new home by the sea for a few months now and my studio is up and running at last.  Our first coastal winter has certainly been an experience, the force of the wind and waves is hard to imagine when gazing out on a gloriously sunny day like today, roll on the summer!



So inspired by the stormy sea, I set out to make glass waves which capture something of that movement and power. This small wave has had three firings and is set in a hardwood block. The larger wave below has had just one firing so far, I'll add more layers of glass and frit to give it depth and texture. It will be fixed to a white board for wall mounting.
