Art Glass Sculpture
Created by
Lisa Becker
Created from hundreds of tiny, handcrafted murrini, this fused glass sculpture is a dazzling interplay of tranquil turquoise and fiery coral, orange, and cranberry hues. An open, negative space interior is surrounded by a 2.5" band of solid glass. Each patterned murrini disk is individually cut from slender glass rods, then meticulously arranged into a stunning composition.
The murrini starts as a 1500 degree Fahrenheit block of glass that is pulled into long rods. Each rod contains a unique concentric circle design inside. Once cooled, the rods are nipped into thousands of individual pieces ranging from .0625 to .5" diameter. They are meticulously pieced together and fired again at 1500 degrees. After firing, the glass levels to aprox. .25" thick and is smoothed with a series of diamond grit pads to ensure a professional edge finish. The sculpture can be displayed from the satin, smooth side or the more glossy, lustrous side.
Iron display stand included.
