  • Crafted Architecture, an Investigation Into Handcrafted Glass Techniques
    Crafted Architecture, An Investigation into Handcrafted Glass Techniques Alex Krissberg Konstfack CRAFT! Department of Ceramic and Glass Master 2 Spring 2018 Tutors: Reino Björk, Birgitta Burling, Sara Isaksson From, Hans Isaksson, Agneta Linton, Anders Ljungberg, Marie O’Connor, Johanna Rosenqvist, Bella Rune, Matt Smith Word count: 5,187 Abstract This paper is an investigation into the crossroads of traditional and contemporary glass craft techniques. Through innovative methods in the workshop I have set out to bring glass into the public sphere using the potential for handcraft in architecture. Keywords: Glass, Glassblowing, Handmade, Architectural Glass, American Studio Glass Movement, Rondel, Murrini, Cane Index Introduction 1 Background 2-5 Context 6-9 Methods: Theory (Bubbles & Blobs) 10-12 Methods: Techniques 13-16 Discussion 17-18 Conclusion 19-20 References 21-22 Appendix 23-26 Introduction This paper follows my masters project where I work with my own invented glass techniques that I am using to construct glass sheets for the purpose of architectural glass. In this project I am researching in what ways can handmade architectural craft change a space? In exploring how handmade glass can change a space, I will investigate how unseen glass traditions which happen in the workshop outside of public view can be present in a crafted object, and what society’s perception of craft might be historically and currently. I believe that public glass is lacking in the handmade. In the past society had depended on craftsmen to make windows, but now as they are mostly machine made it has become void of certain qualities. I would say architectural and functional glass is often overlooked as just a building material or tool, an object that is not seen or a transparent wall.
