pewter sculpture – GLASS

Over a period of 4 years I learned glass blowing, regularly visiting the glass blowing studio to make pieces that I could use with the pewter. The two materials complemented each other perfectly.

I developed a  range of work from a series of drawings of molten lava. The pewter swirling and moving through and around the blown glass.

I wanted to not only show the fluidity of the lava flow, but also the intense variations of colour between the static cooled lava and the flowing lava stream.
