  • Rosa Barovier Mentasti and Cristina Tonini Some Questions About The
    R osa Barovier Mentasti and Cristina Tonini SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MURANO REVIVAL After the fall of the Republic of Venice in 1797, the Venetian economy underwent a deep crisis both in its industrial and commercial activity. Glass production was one of the worst affected sectors. Almost all luxury glass production stopped and an entire generation of young glassmakers was unable to practise the ancient production techniques. Starting in the 1820s various attempts were made to revive old working techniques, but the Murano glassworks only overcame the long crisis after 1866, when Veneto was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy. Murano glassblowers and technicians were also able to recover traditional techniques thanks to the foundation of the Museo Vetrario at Murano, where they could study old artworks. The magazine La Voce di Murano, founded in 1867, gave useful information for the progress of glass technology and announced all the stages in the progress itself. Today the same magazine is the best source for historians who want to explain the development of Venetian glassmaking in the nineteenth century and investigate how and when every traditional technique was recovered, by whom or in which glassworks. Moreover, other techniques were inspired by archaeological masterpieces and, later, some innovations, such as iridescence, were introduced. Thanks to the books and essays written byV incenzo Zanetti, the first director of the Museo Vetrario, and articles published in La Voce di Murano a lot is now known about the several stages of recovering, for instance, the techniques of retortoli and reticello filigree, the recipes for chalcedony glass and the date (1877) when mosaic glass, the so called murrina, entered into the Murano technical heritage and in which glassworks (Venice and Murano Glass and Murano Company).

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.
