History of Art Glass Lampworking above: glass by Paul Stankard top left: glass by Robert Mickelsen author: Robert A. Mickelsen There is no way to accurately measure the age of lampworking because many of the techniques associated with working glass at a flame were actually in use for many thousands of years before the first lamp, or burner was invented. Depending on how one defines what lampworking is, much of early glassmaking could be thought of as a kind of lampworking, or perhaps as a precursor to lampworking. Rosemary Lierke states in her paper entitled "Early History of Lampworking", "if one would extend the definition of lampwork and permit a ‘small fire’ as heat source instead of single flame only, almost all ancient glass working could be defined as lampwork." Reference 1 (at end of article). Ancient man is widely presumed to have discovered glass by accident in a campfire, and subsequently learned to make it in small earthen furnaces shaped like beehives. Wood was the energy source and ceramic crucibles were used to contain the compounds used to make glass. Air to fuel the combustion was allowed to enter through portals at the bottom and was exhausted through a round vent at the top. Tools were very simple, and mainly used to draw cane out of the small, molten blob within the crucible.

125. Looking Glass Art - The Shiori Technique Hand dyed wearable art made in Long Island, New York. http://lookingglassart.com/shibori.html

Resist-dyed Cloth Shibori is a Japanese word used to describe a myriad of techniques for manipulating cloth prior to dyeing it. The design elements are created by folding, twisting, stitching, knotting, pleating, wrapping or pinching. The cloth is then secured with binding and placed in the dye pot. The resisted areas form soft-edged, spontaneous-looking designs which seem to possess their own vocabulary. The closest term we have in English is "tie-dyeing." Shibori techniques have been practiced in some form all over the world; probably the most famous examples are from Japan. Because of the perishable nature of cloth, we cannot determine exactly when or where the first shibori had its origins, but it more than likely dates back to an early prehistorical period in man's technological development. The results of the dyed cloth almost always have an element of surprise because the dye pot, like the potter's kiln, leaves at least some of the process to chance. And each worker is unique in the way he/she folds, twists, stitches or gathers. Thus even when a very precise method of preparing the cloth is followed, the results will be different each time, depending on not only personality and temperament, but also on the kind of cloth and dye, and the huge variety of threads, clamps, and poles used in the process. The United States is a wonderful place to practice the art of shibori because of our vast supply of plastics strong enough to survive a boiling dye bath without melting. The techniques used by the Japanese and other peoples for hundreds of years involved hours of stitching, tying and pole wrapping. Today, we can replicate them in a fraction of the time with the help of rubberbands, sewing machines, all shapes and sizes of plastic, glass, clothespins, elastic thread, PVC pipe, plexiglass, and various found objects. The very best fiber artists create a new version of "East meets West" by applying modern technology to techniques that go back to our very earliest efforts to adorn the human body.

131. Medieval Stained Glass Windows From Esslingen (Germany) - 1 Exhibit of 13th and 14thcentury German stained glass. Full-color images, with commentary on background, techniques, construction, and artistic themes. http://home.bawue.de/~wmwerner/essling/english/glas01.html

Medieval stained glass windows from Esslingen am Neckar (Germany) O ver 400 stained glass panes dating to the 13th and 14th centuries have been preserved in three churches in Esslingen. Practically all the themes found in the sculptural repertoire of the great French Cathedrals of this time are represented, including the Virtues and Vices. Even the everyday life of the citizens of Esslingen is reflected, in scenes from the Life of Mary. The windows give a unique insight into the Medieval world, and into the technical and artistic aspects of the production of stained glass. T he central attraction is the windows from the City/Parish church St.Dionysus, made between 1280 and 1330 and recently painstakingly restored. Stained glass windows from the Frauenkirche (Church of our Lady), built by and for the citizens of Esslingen from 1320-1508, and from the choir of the (previously) Franciscan church can also be seen in this Internet exhibition.

Architectural Glass Glass Art Glossary Terms For non-designers, glass lexicon can be challenging. Glass collectors and decorators struggling to find the right words to describe a glass product or look will want to bookmark this page for easy reference. Acid Etching - This process for the decoration of glass involves the application of hydrofluoric acid to the glass surface. Hydrofluoric acid vapors or baths of hydrofluoric acid salts may be used to give glass a matte, frosted appearance (similar to that obtained by surface sandblasting), as found in lighting glass. Coating the glass with wax and then inscribing the desired pattern through the wax layer can produce glass designs. When applied, the acid will corrode the glass but not attack the wax-covered areas. Annealing Point - The temperature at which internal stresses in glass are significantly reduced. In the annealing operation, glass is gradually cooled from above the annealing point temperature to below the strain point temperature. This slow cooling relieves residual thermal stresses that would develop if the glass were allowed to cool in an uncontrolled manner.

Impressionism! . . . in Stained Glass Art Light Romance Studios foremost creators of stained glass Impressionist artworks! Enjoy our music . . . You may well ask, how is Impressionism defined, and how can Impressionist painting technique be applied in stained glass art? These were questions posed, and answered, by Nasrene MacDonald soon after she founded Light Romance Art Glass Studios at her island summer cottage in Ontario. Years earlier, she had learned painterly art at the prestigious Chelsea Art School in London, after which she excelled at oil painting in the style of the Old Masters, and in quintessentially Impressionist pastel renderings of nature. "Merely think, here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you." Claude Monet And so, striving for originality as she brought her personal artistry to bear with art glass, Nasrene naturally gravitated towards Impressionism the most timeless and universally beloved of all art movements. She realized that the essence of Impressionist paintings consisted in their breaking away from traditional rules of technique, composition, and style; and so she knew she must somehow do the same with stained glass art. The heavy lead or solder lines that make traditional stained glass art in essence a colored line drawing had to be abandoned. "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things."

It has everything. It has an inner power of suggestion: it has light, heat and cold. For me the blowing room is the centre of everything. It's like ladling matter out of a volcano and watching the glowing lava turn to ice." Ed Kachurik Ed experiments with precious metals and chemicals to create his own colors, which are unique to his line today. He uses a technique of coloring the hot glass surfaces which he calls veiling. A veil is a metallic coating applied to hot glass and then covered with more clear glass so as to trap the color. This has become his trademark. Ed's transparent sculptures maximize the extraordinary inherent qualities if glass. Every design is handcrafted using wooden blocks and newspaper to help him work with the molten glass. After the sculptures have been annealed, they go through six different steps of polishing to achieve the optical interior glass veiling. The facets are added to give visual enhancement to the interior glass veiling. Each piece is signed by the artist. Ed's work can be seen in museum and galleries across the country. Ed states, "My spirit is set free when I work glass. I am lost in tranformation of glass from the molten state to the finished piece of crystal. My heart and are in each piece I create. I am very fortunate to do something I truly love. I hope my creations make people as happy when they see them and own them, as they do me when I create them."
