Glass bowl my five year old son made.
Last January I got the chance to attend a glass party at a friend's house. Never heard of a glass party before? Neither had I. At the party
Trish Culbert (a local glass artist) brought her glass supplies and showed us (adults and kids) how to make bowls, plates, and sun catchers. We first decided what we wanted to make. Then we glued pieces of colored glass to a clear glass base. After we made our composition, Trish took the pieces to her studio for the fusing and slumping process. A couple weeks later we got back the finished product.
Trish Culbert is a glass designer based in the Bay Area, CA.

This is the bowl I made. It's supposed to look like fish swimming in water.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cool thing to do!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's amazing. I wish some one I knew was throwing a glass party. :) In fact I wish I had the equipment and supplies to throw my own glass party.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces btw.
How pretty! I tried this a couple times but the shards of glass that get stuck in skin hurts so much!
ReplyDeleteWish we have glass parties here too. The glass bowls look so lovely!

ReplyDeleteUnusual idea. Your daughter is very cute in your photo too. The sun catchers look lovely. An improvement on tupperware parties.
ReplyDeleteA lot of paint-your-own-pottery studios offer glass fusing projects. I work at one and we even offer weekly glass fusing classes! Go to www.paintyourownpottery.com to find a studio near you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea. I'm going to have to do some searching to see if there is anything like this in my area. I love your daughter's sun catcher and your bowl.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! And I love you fish bowl--very creative. :)
