Spring Foglio

This spectacular blown glass vessel from David Patchen's "Foglio Series" is created using the challenging murrini technique: over a number of weeks Patchen uses both hot and cold glassworking processes to create hundreds of highly-patterned glass tiles, then carefully composes them into a mosaic; he then fuses them together to construct a glass bubble all before encasing and blowing the final shape. This unique Foglio is composed of a body of veiled spring green and cerulean cane , displaying a mandala pattern on each side and a variety of murrini and zanfirico cane highlights. This sizable sculpture is double-encased in clear glass for depth and optics and boasts stability via its gently flared, satin-finished bottoms. For extra security, Museum Wax is recommended. One-of-a-kind piece Signed by the artist Materials: Glass.
