Downloaded from: http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/3659/ Usage guidelines Please refer to the usage guidelines at http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected]. Baltic Glass The development of new creative models based on historical and contemporary contextualization Anna Vesele A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Design and Media, University of Sunderland April 2010 1 Abstract The aim of this research was to demonstrate the creative potential of a particular type of coloured flat glass. This glass is produced in Russia and is known as Russian glass. The present researcher has refined methods used by Baltic glass artists to create three- dimensional artworks. The examination of the development of glass techniques in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was necessary in order to identify these methods and to contextualize the researcher’s personal practice. This study describes for the first time the development of glass art techniques in the Baltic States from the 1950s to the present day. A multi-method approach was used to address research issues from the perspective of the glass practitioner. The methods consisted of the development of sketches, models and glass artworks using existing and unique assembling methods. The artworks underlined the creative potential of flat material and gave rise to a reduction in costs. In conjunction with these methods, the case studies focused on the identification of similarities among Baltic glass practices and similarities of approach to using various glass techniques.

  • Contextualizing the Archaeometric Analysis of Roman Glass
    Contextualizing the Archaeometric Analysis of Roman Glass A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati Department of Classics McMicken College of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts August 2015 by Christopher J. Hayward BA, BSc University of Auckland 2012 Committee: Dr. Barbara Burrell (Chair) Dr. Kathleen Lynch 1 Abstract This thesis is a review of recent archaeometric studies on glass of the Roman Empire, intended for an audience of classical archaeologists. It discusses the physical and chemical properties of glass, and the way these define both its use in ancient times and the analytical options available to us today. It also discusses Roman glass as a class of artifacts, the product of technological developments in glassmaking with their ultimate roots in the Bronze Age, and of the particular socioeconomic conditions created by Roman political dominance in the classical Mediterranean. The principal aim of this thesis is to contextualize archaeometric analyses of Roman glass in a way that will make plain, to an archaeologically trained audience that does not necessarily have a history of close involvement with archaeometric work, the importance of recent results for our understanding of the Roman world, and the potential of future studies to add to this. 2 3 Acknowledgements This thesis, like any, has been something of an ordeal. For my continued life and sanity throughout the writing process, I am eternally grateful to my family, and to friends both near and far. Particular thanks are owed to my supervisors, Barbara Burrell and Kathleen Lynch, for their unending patience, insightful comments, and keen-eyed proofreading; to my parents, Julie and Greg Hayward, for their absolute faith in my abilities; to my colleagues, Kyle Helms and Carol Hershenson, for their constant support and encouragement; and to my best friend, James Crooks, for his willingness to endure the brunt of my every breakdown, great or small.

  • Forest Glass (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Forest Glass (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY Forest glass is late Medieval glass produced in North-Western and Central Europe from about 1000-1700 AD using wood ash and sand as the main raw materials and made in factories known as glass-houses in forest areas. It is characterized by a variety of greenish-yellow colors, the earlier products being often of crude design and poor quality, and was used mainly for everyday vessels and increasingly for church stained glass windows. Its composition and manufacture contrast sharply with Roman and pre- Roman glass making centered on the Mediterranean and contemporaneous Islamic glass making to the east. HISTORY While under Roman rule the raw materials and manufacturing methods of Northern Europe were those of the Roman tradition, using the mineral Natron. For several centuries after the fall of the Western Roman Empire around 450 AD, recycling of Roman glass formed the major part of the local industry and glass-making skills declined. With the rise of the Carolingian Empire in north-west Europe around 800 AD increasing demand for glass and problems with supply of traditional raw materials, together with an imperial desire to emulate the more sophisticated culture of the Islamic Empire (which was producing high quality glass) led to experimentation with new raw materials and the development of a totally new glass-making technology. Archaeologically, numerous medieval glass-houses have been found in western and central Europe, particularly in the mountains of Germany. Due to later reuse of the building material, most are poorly preserved, but there is evidence that both glass- making and working were often done on the same site.

  • Cv/Cvma Newsletter Index
    CV/CVMA NEWSLETTER INDEX Author Indexes Two author indexes appeared in the Newsletter, as follows. 25 (pp. 12Ŕ13): ‘Author Index to News Letters Nos 1Ŕ25’ 35/36 (pp. 27Ŕ30): ‘author index to news letters nos. 25-35/36’ These consisted in the main of the authors of the works abstracted in the numbered abstracts; these authors are now available and searchable in the separate concordance of abstracts. Although Roy Newton acted as Editor and compiler of the Newsletter up to and including issue 26, he often included material submitted by others. From issue 27 onwards however, articles with named authors appeared in the Newsletter, and there are separate entries in the index for references to individuals and articles by those individuals (see for example Ferrazzini, J. C.). General Indexes Five general indexes appeared in the Newsletter, as follows. 10 (pp. 5Ŕ6): ‘Cumulative Index to News Letters 1Ŕ10’ 15 (pp. 16Ŕ18): ‘Cumulative Index to News Letters 1Ŕ15’ 20 (pp. 12Ŕ15): ‘Index to News Letters 11Ŕ20’ 25 (pp. 14Ŕ18): ‘Index to News Letters Nos 16Ŕ25’ 35/36 (pp. 30Ŕ32): ‘subject index to news letters nos 25-35/36’ There are variations in the ways in which bibliographic items are presented throughout the Newsletter, which differ again from the methods used in the Occasional Papers. Some obvious errors in the citations have been corrected here, but the author and title listings given here should not be used as a guide to citation in future work. References in the Index Up to and including issue 39/40, references are made to sections of individual Newsletters, as with the older indexes of the Newsletter, so 15 (1.2) is section 1.2 in Newsletter 15; occasionally a page number is added for clarification, of a section is particularly long.

Department of Conservation, Faculty of Archaeology, Fayoum University, Egypt Received: 10 August 2016 / Accepted: 11 Sept. 2016 / Publication date: 20 Sept. 2016 ABSTRACT The finding of considerable collections of coloured glass artifacts, together with considerable lumps of glass chunks, fuel ash slag and kiln fragments related to glass processing strongly suggests a local secondary production (working) of glass at the archaeological site in northern Tripoli, Libya from the Roman period. The main objectives of the research are to understand the production technology and provide some insights into their probable provenance. In addition, corrosion and decay processes were also assessed to determine the influence of the cremation ritual within the fragments structure. The materials used for the manufacture of the glass were revealed using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X- ray fluorescence (XRF). According to the microscopic examination, it can also be observed that mould-blowing was the main technique used for forming glass. The resulting data suggest that both soda-lime-silicate and, probably, aluminum-silicate glasses were produced in the making of these glassy materials, using some transition metal oxides as chromospheres or coloring agents. The compositional evidence gathered also suggests that glass fragments were the outcome of trade or exchange practices rather than locally produced. Key words: Roman Period; Glass fragments; Chemical composition; Secondary production; Chemical Analyses Introduction As a matter of fact, there are Different types of glass fragments that are well-known in eastern and southern regions of Tripoli during the first millennium AD.

    Nature of Glass Curriculum © 2014 Nature of Glass Curriculum © 2014 INTRODUCTION (1 OF 2) CURRICULUM OVERVIEW Introduction Since opening in 2012, Chihuly Garden and Glass has partnered with Seattle Public Schools to enhance learning using the artwork of Dale Chihuly. The Nature of Glass is an innovative sixth-grade science curriculum that immerses students in Chihuly’s installations and provides teaching resources aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)*. The Nature of Glass Curriculum enables students to appreciate the science and engineering behind the creation and exhibition of works of art created in glass. Summary The Nature of Glass Curriculum is divided into three sections: • Pre-visit Resources • Visit Resources • Post-visit Resources The Curriculum Resources Chart lists all components. Each resource has a companion teacher’s guide with lesson plans, evaluation tools, and teaching tips to facilitate its use. Using the pre-visit resources and the Student Visit Booklet, students examine aspects of the essential question: what is the nature of glass? The post-visit resources help students understand and apply their experiences with glass while exploring connections to other science, engineering, and art content. The visit resources are organized around three NGSS Crosscutting Concepts that link glass to broader scientific topics: • Patterns • Energy and Matter • Structure and Function The Nature of Glass Curriculum provides an efficient and exciting science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) learning opportunity to Seattle’s sixth graders. *Next Generation Science Standards is a registered trademark of Achieve.
