my dude;

i bought one of your sea slugs maybe a year and a half ago and it literally inspired me to take up lampworking

after a year of getting less shit, i think i am good enough to try and imitate one of your sea slugs (not for sale! just for me ☺️)

do you have any tips? and do i have your permission to basically copy your idea

thank you

That's wonderful to hear! You have my permission but only if I get to see it c:

As for tips you probably already know the most important thing is to keep it equally hot as you work on it, as hot as you can just before the glass changes shape gives you the most time to put on details.

To make a sea slug I melt a rod to get a mass of glass, make a rough body shape, attach a pointed clear glass rod on the opposite end as the punty, add on the design of the body and shape some more, then add the "tail" and "ears" and finally heat up long metal tweezers to hold onto it and then melt the punty off and stick it directly into a hot kiln. You could also let it cool down and aneal it later.

The easiest glass to work with are transparent colours, opaque glass melts really fast and loses details quickly while semi-opaque or milky glass shocks and cracks really easy while having a smaller window of time to work with. Using a colour like blue, green, or black will let you see the orange heat in the glass so you can better judge how cold it is getting, clear makes it more difficult to see the heat.

And the real most important thing is to make sure you are wearing an apron, glasses, and have proper ventilation, you don't want to breathe in heavy metals or get nasty burns on your torso, trust me.

Please let me see your creations when they are done! Glass is a really tricky medium but as with anything, repetition and thinking of your moves ahead of time makes it doable. If you have any more questions I'd be glad to share what I've learned so far.

WIP

Working on a gift for my partner. I’ve not worked a lot with solid sculpting in boro, so this has been a fun challenge!

This was a super interesting custom order I had the privilege to complete for one of my awesome repeat customers! This customer is a biologist who has been working with vernal pools and requested I create an artistic representation of an amphibian egg mass as a glass ornament. For those of you who may not know, many amphibians (like frogs and salamanders) lay their eggs in gelatinous clusters in the water, often attached with sticks and algae. I have found egg masses like this when playing in ponds and swamps as a kid. It was a cool project to make one in glass. 🐸🥚🌿

Squeaking in just before the end of the year, it’s a new zine issue! The main feature in this issue is the write up of my work at the beginning of the year as a resident artist in the Penland School of Craft flame shop where I refined a method for combining ceramics with glass using a torch. . Major thanks to @penlandschool for a fellowship award that made this work possible. . Link to the Patreon post where everyone can download the issue for free is in my bio. . #ceramics #glazechemistry #glasschemistry #flameworking #zine https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmz1CTfLRTn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Rebirth”

Materials:

Borosilicate Rod

Found Object (sewn chicken)

This piece is a self-portrait. I took to calling the original sewn Chicken Doris and referring to it as a she. Afterwards, I found myself seeing myself in the glass chicken and referring to it as he. I wanted to include a few pieces of the original sewn chicken to represent that even when you change and are reborn you can choose to keep parts of yourself.
