CREATING RIVER TABLE
Adding color to molten glass
Clear molten glass is colored by rolling through colored glass chips called fritCrimping a grass form
Crimping in a cool constriction allows this glass form to be removed from the poleFirst grass sculptures need grinding
Once cooled, glass needs to be finished by grinding the base flat on each pieceScale layout begins
With just a few parts, River Table pieces begin to fill in a full scale map of the projectTest Assembly Success
The prototype testing assembly technique proves I can move forward with this designEarly Scale Layout
Layouts on paper "tabletops" help me plan positions and the things I still need to makeFirst Table Section assembled
Getting the first section together provided confidence for completing River TableAdding a hot bit to turtle sculpture
Assistants bring Frus a molten bit of glass to attach as the turtle sculpture takes shapeRedfish Assembly
Attaching fish to support leaves involves careful gluing and stable curing for strengthShow More
