  • A NEW TECHNIQUE in GLASS ART JOANNE MITCHELL a Thesis Su
    PRECISION AIR ENTRAPMENT THROUGH APPLIED DIGITAL AND KILN TECHNOLOGIES: A NEW TECHNIQUE IN GLASS ART JOANNE MITCHELL A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2015 Precision Air Entrapment through Applied Digital and Kiln Technologies: A New Technique in Glass Art Joanne Mitchell PhD 2015 1 Precision Air Entrapment through Applied Digital and Kiln Technologies: A New Technique in Glass Art Joanne Mitchell 2015 Abstract The motivation for the research was to expand on the creative possibilities of air bubbles in glass, through the application of digital and kiln technologies to formulate and control complex air entrapment, for new configurations in glass art. In comparison to glassblowing, air entrapment in kiln forming glass practice is under-developed and undocumented. This investigation has devised new, replicable techniques to position and manipulate air in kiln-formed glass, termed collectively as Kiln-controlled Precision Air Entrapment. As a result of the inquiry, complex assemblages of text and figurative imagery have been produced that allow the articulation of expressive ideas using air voids, which were not previously possible. The research establishes several new innovations for air-entrapment in glass, as well as forming a technical hypotheses and a practice-based methodology. The research focuses primarily on float glass and the application of CNC abrasive waterjet cutting technology; incorporating computer aided design and fabrication alongside more conventional glass-forming methods. The 3-axis CNC abrasive waterjet cutting process offers accuracy of cut and complexity of form and scale, across a flat plane of sheet glass.
