Art Glass Sculpture – stone wall engraved with meadow grasses

This rocky sculptures series has meadow and sea grasses engraved onto the surface of the glass.

The compositions of my unique art glass sculptures are evocative of the landscape and suggest rocks and stones place harmoniously together, contrasting defined edges with the softness of adjacent vegetation.

Product Details

This unique art glass sculpture is a new addition to my handmade rocky sculptures series. The composition is new and I’ve also used a new technique to add more detail to the surface. Meadow grasses are engraved onto the surface of the glass on both sides to create another visual layer.

First I construct it by hand using chunks of American Bullseye Glass to create natural forms. I add 23.5ct gold representing gold lichen and then I fire it in a kiln over several days.

It’s a 3 dimensional piece in burnt scarlet and yellow glass fired with 23.5ct gold and dark etching.

Each composition is different. It’s only when I take it out of the kiln after a 6 day firing that I can see the result and find out if I’ve captured the essence of my inspiration.

My unique art glass explores the beauty of stone bridges, harbour walls, dry stone walls and rocky outcrops.

The compositions are evocative of the landscape and suggest rocks and stones placed harmoniously together. I contrast defined edges with the softness of the adjacent vegetation. The blocks of colour echo the surrounding landscape, water and sky. This results in a sense of place and atmosphere.
