Large Freestanding Wave - St Michael’s Mount

This is a freestanding wave. It is handmade in my studio in Cornwall and is inspired by the fabulous coast surrounding my county. Each piece is created using layers of thin coloured bullseye glass with crushed and powdered glass to create detail and texture. It has been fused four times in a specialist kiln for 13 hours each time.  Each piece is handmade by myself and no two will be identical, small variations in detail may be visible. 

The image depicts the tidal Island of St Micheal’s Mount in Mount’s Bay which is linked to Marazion at low tide by the cobbled causeway.

The transparent glass allows light to pass through and the slim footprint allows the glass to be displayed on a narrow shelf as well as windowsills. Candles can be lit behind the glass to create a lovely ambience.
