Ice Table
Water
is restful and calming, when frozen as snow and ice it is still and quiet.
Glass with heat in the kiln can transform from solid to liquid and back again,
as water does with cold in a freezer.
I use the lost wax process for these pieces, casting multiple’s of ice cube trays in wax then using these for a mould that, once the wax is removed, is filled with glass in the kiln. The work is then cold worked and bonded with epoxy to create base.
In this Ice Table the top is cloudy with veils and hints at movement in the water, while the curved, kiln slumped legs create another sense of movement and change as ice becomes water. It can be placed as sculptural piece that can enhance an environment as well as being functional.
