It has attempted to create a „new model‟ for Chinese traditional inside painting through the creation of contemporary glass artworks. This is timely because Chinese academic glass teaching is emerging in universities, and cast glass techniques dominate the curriculum. The research offers an example of how traditional methods might be revitalized by one artist to extend the options for Chinese University glass teaching. Potential recipients are glass artists and students as well as curators and collectors. This research mainly used studio-based art practices, inspired by traditional inside painting of Chinese snuff bottles, traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, influenced by Taoism, together with Western glass painting, printing and calligraphy in order to reduce some of the existing limitations of traditional methods. The methods of glass making for this research covered blowing, casting, flame work, fusing, slumping, incorporating „outside‟ painting combined with „inside‟ painting, and printing combined with inside painting. Traditional inside painting techniques have developed over more than 200 years into a popular form of Chinese folk art, often based on glass snuff bottles with painted decoration on the inside. The craftsmen who make these pieces usually pay more attention to inside painting skills and overlook their own artistic expression. The designs used tend to be repetitive and copies of existing designs from other media such as ink painting or photographs. In this research, a body of inside painted glass works was produced to show how the glass form and painted content were combined. This work also helped to establish possible ways to reduce the limitations of traditional inside painting of Chinese snuff bottles. Contextual aspects were supported by study visits to key collections and conferences, and interviews with other makers and collectors. It is hoped that this research will promote the development of traditional inside painting and lead to inside glass painting developing as a strand of the contemporary Chinese glass arts. 2 Contents I List of practical works submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Sunderland………………...........................................................6 II List of Figures…………………………………………………….........................8 III List of Tables………………………………………………................................15 IV List of Appendices…………………………………………...............................16 V Author Declaration…………………………………………..............................17 Ⅵ Acknowledgements……………………………………………..........................18 Chapter 1 – Introduction………………………………………………….....................19 1.1 Personal background to this research........................……………................19 1.2 Historical background…………………………………………………..............20 1.2.1 The snuff bottle, inside painting, traditional Chinese painting, calligraphy and Taoism...................................................................................................20 1.2.2 Contemporary Chinese university glass teaching..........................................23 1.2.3 Contemporary Western glass paintings, glass printings, and Western calligraphy................................................................................24 1.3 Research rationale……………………………………….....…………...............30 1.3.1 The advantages and limitations of the traditional inside painting of Chinese snuff bottles.....................................................................................31 1.3.2 The limitations of contemporary Chinese university glass teaching..............33 1.3.3 The inspiration from contemporary western glass painting, glass printing, and calligraphy.......................................................................34 1.3.4 Personal motivation.......................................................................................35 1.4 Research questions and subsequent aims............................…......………....35 1.5 Methodology…………………………………………........................................36 1.5.1 Contextual research……………………………………………….....................37 1.5.2 Practice-led research………………………………………………....................42 1.6 Objectives of this research…………………………………………...................44 1.7 Summary of thesis………………………………………………….....................44 Chapter 2 -

Mickelsen 4/29/94 This document contains some of my personal observations and experiences with Northstar Borocolour colored glass. These are strictly my feelings and opinions and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the manufacturer or anyone else for that matter. Northstar colors can be roughly divided into two categories: colors that strike and colors that do not strike. They can be further categorized into several color groups: reds, oranges, and yellows; the cobalt family; transparent and multi greens; opacified colors; exotics; and what I call 'pastel' colors. These categories are somewhat arbitrary and but I list them here because it demonstrates how many of the Northstar colors are derivative of each other. I will discuss them within the context of these categories. REDS, ORANGES, AND YELLOWS Northstar Ruby was the first Northstar color I tried. It is a striking color that turns an intense transparent red when re-heated. This color used to have a lot of seeds and bubbles in it, but has gotten much cleaner in recent years. Just recently, Paul Trautman has sent me samples of a 'new improved' Ruby that is cleaner and less seedy than ever before. Furthermore, this new Ruby does not 'overstrike' (turn opaque brick-red) as easily as the old Ruby did, so you can work it more.

    EYE SAFETY I. Eye hazards and good vision requirements A. General hazards 1. Dust and powders in the eye cause irritation and corneal scratches 2. Frit and glass flakes also cause scratches and cuts to the cornea 3. High air flow leads to eyes drying out B. Work Specific Hazards and requirements 1. Warm/Hot Glass a. IR radiation hazard from kiln/furnace/glory hole 2. Lampworking Soft Glass a. Sodium Flare Filtration Sodium Flare is a bright yellow ball of light that appears when glass is placed into the flame. It is not hazardous to the eye structures, but it does need to be filtered for clarity of vision of the working area on the glass piece. b. Contrast Enhancement Filters Contrast enhancement filters should be worn when working outside or in a brightly lit area. Because of the sun or bright work lights, the flame oftentimes becomes invisible and a good contrast enhancement filter (like the ACE glass) will allow the at least the outline of the flame to be seen. Changing backgrounds to a dark color also helps. 3. Lampworking Borosilicate Glass a.
