Gypsea Glass

gypseaglass's Shop Announcement

The art glass you see here is known as hand blown or lampworked glass.

Each piece is individually hand sculpted in the torch flame, and then carefully annealed in a digitally controlled kiln.

Some of the pieces have also been cold worked. This process involves cutting the flameworked glass on a diamond tipped wet saw, and then polishing it on a lapidary wheel.

Precious metals of gold and silver are fumed into some of the glass pieces while worked in the flame, and Gilson opals are also used as elements in the sculpting process.

Various semi precious gems and crystals are incorporated into the jewelry designs, along with pewter and sterling silver.
