Featured Artist - June
At the beginning of 2005, she retired from her "40" full time job and continued to work with glass.
THE PROCESS:
Glass fusing is essentially "melting" of glasses together. Complete fusing occurs around 1450 degrees. Glass needs to be brought up to this temperature in stages, and cooled in the same manner. Rapid introductions to hot or cold temperatures makes glass susceptible to breakage or cracking. All the glass pieces start out as flat sheets of glass.
They are cut into desired shapes and sizes. In addition, accessory glasses are also used in the fusing process. Nancy works mainly with transparent and iridescent glasses, and tends towards Asian influenced pieces because she likes the simplicity and clean lines.
After the fusing process, pieces are often fired again to a lower temperature in what is called the slumping process. This is the firing in which the pieces take on the shapes of bowls, plates or platters.
Join us on our next Art Walk, June 3
Lea Basile-Lazarus will be the demonstrating artist for Gallery Row from 1 to 3 pm. She will be demonstrating handmade paper and talking about how she creates the paper pulp paintings that she makes that are in the gallery. She will be demonstrating a simplified version of what she does, but the audience will get a good sense of how paper pulp paintings are made and the process that she goes through to complete one piece.
Brad Powers is a wood artist focused primarily on turned objects using a lathe. He is also a technology enthusiast who enjoys blending traditional hand crafting techniques with modern technologies such as laser engravers, 3D Printers and Computer Controlled CNC routers. He believes that creativity can be expressed through technology in addition to more traditional artistic mediums. That said, adding hand crafted elements makes each piece truly unique.
