Pate de Verre and glass petri dishes Not for Sale Jochen Holz 9 30 Andreya Bennett The proposed tumblers are made in a unique and innovative way. The purpose of drinking vessels is of course to socialise/communicate over a drink... Word game coasters encourage guests to communicate and innovate though play. Guests create new sentences both humorous and helpful, encouraging interaction/ communication though sharing words. In this project I am using lampworking to blow clear borosilicate tumblers. Every piece is made individually and formed by a variety of tools to produce unique shapes and textures. I am using files, cheese graters or found pieces of metal to press into the hot glass, imprinting the texture of the tools and to form/deform the glass bubble into the final shape.
