Vitreography – Axis #5

paul — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:55:32 +0000

The latest in the Axis Series which is also a new Vitreograph.
Made using four 12mm glass plates, they have been carved and cut using glass engraving and diamond cutting tools. Unfortunately the key plate broke after only four prints in proofing, so four it is!

One of the last things to come out of the original Glassworks were a series of standing stones made from glass. These are the first in a new series of similar objects which will form the core of a new sculptural group. They are at present not completed.

Old "Glassworks"

“Glassworks” was the name of the hot glass studio which ran from 1981 till 1990 – based first in Edinburgh City centre then at Eskmills in Musselburgh. It was a production workshop making functional ware such as wine glasses, scent bottles, vases, bowls etc. Alongside these exhibition and one-off pieces were also made.
