Cobweb, Angela Berry

A decorative bowl shaped piece constructed from pulled hot-glass strands, fused and slumped in two stages in the kiln before finishing with partial sand-blasting. Several unique pieces were made by this method, this piece being chosen to advertise an exhibition of 'One-off' Glass at Liberty's, Regent St, London in 1999. Inspired by the movement of hot-glass filaments - like grasses in the wind, or waterweed in the flow of a stream. The final stage in making each bowl was one of suspense - the need to catch that moment in time just before the softening glass became liquid and lost all form. Each bowl freezes a moment in time.
