With a new discovery of glass items and a scattering of 2000 Celtic coins, Němčice in the Czech Republic now holds the title of the earliest & oldest glass workshop north of the Alps, dating back 2,300 years! A pivotal center of glass production and trade with the Celts.

Fred Wilson, Untitled (Akua'ba), 2010, cast and blown glass, 88" x 43" x 14-1/2" (223.5 cm x 109.2 cm x 36.8 cm), overall installed © Fred Wilson

Since 2001, Wilson has worked alongside prominent American glass blower Dante Marioni with whom he first explored the possibilities of black-colored glass. During this time, Wilson produced his first black glass drips. The reflective surface of the blown glass and the teardrop-like forms suggest liquids such as ink, oil, blood and tar, and are blown from red glass so dense that it appears black. Wilson has continued to make drip works including Untitled (Akua'ba) (2010), a multi-piece installation topped with a black-glass sculpture cast from a traditional ritual fertility doll of the Asante people in Ghana. The glass doll extends from the wall looking down on a series of black drips that appear to cascade towards the floor—a nod to the fecundity associated with the African doll and the spread of the notion of the “Global African.” As Wilson explains, “Since the late 20th century the concept of the color black has shifted. Africans and those of the African Diaspora have embodied the color and flipped the negative meaning on its head and now view it as a powerful symbol of solidarity, born of our shared history and culture. My works in black are a mixture of positive affirmation, with a clear-eyed understanding of the racist tropes of the past.”

"The heart of alchemy is transformation. Something new is created based on how you transform the existing elements. - Dee, The Caves of Wonder

Dee is fascinated by alchemy because he focuses on its quest to find the formula to transmute base metals into gold. He needs the gold to continue his search for his missing parents. And he will do almost anything to get the key to transmutation. But he’s missing just how important the early alchemists have been to life today.

They created:

- Perfumes - Cosmetics - Paints and dyes - Textiles - Glassmaking - The tanning of leather

this question sounds unhinged but it's for a WIP. Does anyone know of any chemical or substance involved in glassmaking/glassblowing that could theoretically be used to make drugs? Like a by- or waste product, or even a chemical used to color the glass?

Heart of Glass

Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~~Anton Chekhov [Our glass horse from Murano, Italy. Photo is mine.] Sometime in the ancient distant foggy and shadowy history of human existence, someone discovered how to make glass. This is thought to have occurred around 4,000 years ago. I don’t have the month or day, but I’ll check on that and get back to you…

Fred Wilson, Dark Dawn, 2005, blown glass and plate glass, overall installed: 120" x 240" x 84" (304.8 cm x 609.6 cm x 213.4 cm)

The pitch-black surface of the installation offers a literal and symbolic reflective quality as pairs of eyes gaze back at the viewer. Wilson says, “I would like to think that objects have memories, and that we have memories about certain objects.” The arrangement of caricature-like eyes references the Blackface cartoons of the Jim Crow era when white supremacy and anti-blackness dominated every aspect of American life. The eyes on the drips look back on Black people being reduced to images of ink, tar, and oil in these cartoons.
