Glass Dish 1

This small dish packs a lot of colour in a small vessel.  Here Laurie layers chartreuse, ivory, spring green and robin’s egg blue glass - the result is a depth of colour, glossy inside with a soft matte exterior.  This piece would look lovely on a coffee table, or kitchen counter for art to enjoy every day. Or hang it on the wall!

Approx. 5 1/2" diameter x 1" tall

Glass artist Laurie Freivogel calls her work "glass under pressure".  In a new technique, Laurie applies weight to the layers of glass, fusing it at high temperatures.  The weight presses the glass out and into itself to make these amazing colorations, depth and shadows.  The glass goes into the kiln another time or two to fire polish, then a final time into (or over) a mold to achieve it’s final shape. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind functional sculpture.
