Frequently Asked Questions
What is the canvas material that you use?
Mainly we use a cotton blend canvas. It's a plain-woven fabric typically made out of cotton and to a lesser extent, linen. Canvas fabric is known for being durable, sturdy, and heavy duty. A stretched canvas can be water resistant or even waterproof depending on how the canvas was treated. Keep artwork out of direct sunlight.
What type of glass do you use?
Depending on the Studio Facilities, I sometimes use Spruce Pine Batch and others times I use Recycled Glass. Spruce Pine Batch is formulated and founded by glass artist Harvey Littleton. Recycled Glass comes from all kinds of broken up clear glass that is cleaned and melted back in to liquid glass.
Why Does Glass Break?
Metal and willow trees have a stong flexible bonds. Glass is also - strong but rigid, reinforced by ordered placement of its molecules. So blemishes or imperfections in glass are naturally its weakest points. Naturally, often intentionally a glass artist will blow flaws directly into the blowing process accentuating, contrasting its asymmetrical form and shape.
