It takes patience and dedication to learn the mysteries of glass manipulation. Borosilicate glass is one of the hardest and most durable materials around, and nothing sums up its beauty like the refined touch of an experienced flame worker. The process of creating a glass sphere has it’s own unique challenges and pleasures, from the creation of a perfect convex surface, to the hypnotic magnification that can be achieved. The process requires a delicate balance of heat application, rotational spin, and a steadfast touch. Stare into a galaxy of silver and gold fumes, twisted in to spirals, toroids, and colorfully imploded plumes.
Data Glass is an Austin based artist. Self taught as a borosilicate manipulator and creator of non-euclidean art, his pieces can be found at local art and music festivals and now online.
