Fused
Glass
by Teresa Barnes
January 4, 2008 - February 28, 2008
|
Teresa
Barnes has always been attracted to the color and sparkle
of glass. As an accomplished artist she experiments with different
forms and formulas to create amazing artwork using glass,
heat and her imagination.
Glass
fusing and slumping is the art of creating works both functional
and artistic using colored glass. More versatile than leaded
or stained glass because of the ability to shape and mold
the glass, use colored glass powder to create shadow, and
generally being able to paint with glass is very exciting.
The results, whether fanciful character studies or a set of
one of a kind sushi dishes all share the same dedication and
attention to detail that has always been the hallmark of her
work. Of course, the colors and sparkle are always there.
