First I shape and fire some dichroic or handpainted tin float or "found" glass. The painting is often in Sumi E style and the "found" glass frequently comes from coloured wine bottles! After kiln firing I am ready for the next step.
The shape is wrapped in a fine drape of polymer clay which forms the "cocoon". The whole is then fired in a home oven.
The soft feminine folds of the draped clay contrast with the reflective surface of the glass.
