The complicated melodies of Sergei Rachmaninoff provided endless challenge and fascination. “Playing his compositions is an exercise in pull- ing out a primary and secondary melody. Working with glass landscapes, there’s a lot of that going on. Each individual piece of cane is a single unit. When put together in swirls or waves, one side of the canvas has something akin to a calm buildup or meandering swell, and the other side has something more powerful like a wave motion. My work in glass is very musical, with both dramatic and supportive elements.” Art influences also began in childhood, with drawing later transitioning to painting, glass, and 3-D arts. Cal Poly in Leib’s hometown of San Luis Obispo served as a crucial testing ground for the art- ist. “Music and glass offset the more cerebral aspects of being a philosophy major.” Growing up on the central coast of California, Leib was by default connected to the sea. As a teen she swam in the moonlight without fear or trepida- tion. “It was either a primary force or a backdrop for all of my life.

    THE A RTS that we mostly associate with glass, namely transparency and fragility, exploited. CREATIVE The basic materials used to make glass are silica (sand), a flux (soda or potash) and a stabiliser (for example, lime). The mixture turns into a liquid when heated to a high temperature and is then shaped through various techniques. It becomes solid when cooled. Glass is a solution and retains the random molecular structure of a liquid when it stiffens. Because it lacks a structure of interlocking crystals, it is transparent, easily USE OF GLASS shattered and deteriorates over time.

  • Bullseye Glass Co. / Classes & Special Events
    Bullseye Glass Co. | Classes & Special Events May to September 2012 • Emeryville, California From the Director Artist Klaus Moje at Resource Center Portland, 2007. What is Kiln-Glass? In 1974 three self-described “hippie glassblowers” started Bullseye Glass Company, a small factory for making specialty sheet glass in Portland, Oregon. While they initially focused on making colored sheets for use in stained glass, they aspired to do what had never been done before: to produce a palette of colored glasses tested to be compatible for fusing with one another for producing works in the kiln. By 1979 they had succeeded, but immediately ran into a challenge: they had created something remarkable for which almost no demand existed. Ever the innovators, they decided to embark on a long-term program of research projects working directly with artists to help pioneer and expand the technical, aesthetic and conceptual development of the field that is today known as kiln-glass. Kiln-glass is a term that describes an enormous range of techniques and outcomes that are radically more accessible than many other working methods, such as glassblowing, in which one must first develop basic physical skills for years before being able to effectively realize well-executed works. By contrast, many of the skills required for kiln-glass are things that most artists already possess: an understanding of design, composition, color theory, and the ability to conceive of layers of process and material application. And while kiln-glass does require basic knowledge of technical issues and nuances, these are readily obtained in short order through publications and curriculum that have been developed as an outgrowth of Bullseye’s years of collaboration with artists.

The team aimed to capture and preserve the sounds of traditional studio glassmaking, and then to share them outside the workshop domain through digital technologies and glass art objects. The goal was also to fulfill a public engagement grant from the Royal Academy of Engineering to highlight the engineering through the art and the engineers’ vision within the art making. The team recorded and isolated the unique sounds of the glassblowing process and its studio environment, and then used the resulting digital sound collection as the foundation for developing artistic outputs: a virtual instrument library, a glass object-instrument of performance, a series of glass objects translating selected virtual instruments, and a music composition. They questioned the nature and materiality of glass through dialogue between media and conversation among team members, while exploring the practice-based research question: “How can we embed our recorded sounds of the glassmaking process back into the glass itself?” This paper focuses on the collaborative, interdisciplinary making process of the team, the project outputs, and the metaphorical language that was a key process facilitation tool.

    Understanding Firing Schedules Learn about the components of a glass fi ring schedule so you can create your own schedule for any project you want to try. BASICS – Ramp - Temperature - Hold HEATWORK – Time/Temperature Tango. COE – how it aff ects fi ring schedules. VISCOSITY – how it aff ects fi ring schedules. THICKNESS– how it aff ects fi ring schedules PREDICTION - ending accidents. ANNEALING – how and why EVENIVITY– the magic word. VOLUME CONTROL SPECIAL SCHEDULES for special eff ects. My Personal Promise The temperatures and times I refer to here for fi ring schedules are not guesswork and are not copied from comments of others. There are the result of 40 years working as a glass artisan and over 20,000 kiln fi rings. I made it a point to do comparison tests to rigid standard.
