Coldworker - Rotting Paradise (Relapse Records, 2008)

[chimerical-creations]

Made some shot glasses with the MSA Ghost skull emblem and spiky vines. Messed up a little and got kind of terrible overspray going on. Didn't mask off high enough nor was careful enough with the airstream direction while sandblasting, so there's some obvious frosting on the insides of three of them, and some less obvious but there-if-you-know-what-to-look-for on a fourth. One each of the big-skull-some-vines and small-skull-more-vines turned out fine.

Made these over a year ago, but didn't photograph them until today.

^ the picture i took of carroña back in 2017 at CMOG btw. fun rook fact is that i took glassblowing in college + i love doing glasswork :] to this day i still have a cup i made + a bowl i did some coldwork doodling on LOL

INVESTIGATE - Term 2 Week Five & Six - PART SHEETS & COLD WORKING

Today we are cold working the edges of last weeks' thick fused squares, to remove the texture created by the kiln paper lining the kiln straps/gyprock. I started coldworking mine, but we are also making our part sheets today - so I didn't finish. I'll pick it up another time. For the part sheets, because we're layering/cutting/collaging them after this fire, we're encouraged to just play with line and colour rather than fixitating on a finalised design during this step. I'm playing with noodles and ceramic underglaze pencil to create a grid effect, reminiscent of fabric tartan, and trying to play more freely with colour as an experiment.

STEPS FOR PROCESS: (Part Sheets) 🝯 Prepare a tidy and functional workspace. 🝯 Gather required PPE - eye protection, respirator. 🝯 Collect required tools and materials - fusing glass, noodles, clear powder, sieve, ceramic underglaze pencil, glass cutter, ruler. 🝯 Prepare kiln - remove previous firings, redress shelves if required. 🝯 Cut clear fusing glass base layer. 🝯 Sandblast the base layer to prepare for underglaze pencil, so the marking has something to "grip onto". 🝯 Using a pencil, draw repeating straight lines length ways. 🝯 Measure, cut and place noodles into place as desired, along the opposite edge to create a grid effect against the pencil lines. 🝯 Sieve fine clear glazing powder evenly as a top layer to the design, to help seal in the pencil markings and create a glossy finish on top. 🝯 Place work onto kiln shelf. Enter firing schedule and fire. 🝯 Tidy workspace and return all tools and leftover materials.

RESULTS & REFLECTION Overall I am fond of how the noodles and pencil interact with each other, particularly on clear glass. My cutting accuracy wasn't consistent across all noodles, resulting in some noodles not meeting the edge of the base glass. To mitigate in future, I will need to pay closer attention to cutting glass accurately to the mm and take extra care when loading into the kiln to avoid any movement across the layers. Next week we are due to collage this piece, then we will slump into a dish mold.

Doublespeak may take the form of euphemisms (e.g., "downsizing" for layoffs and "servicing the target" for bombing),[1] in which case it is primarily meant to make the truth sound more palatable. It may also refer to intentional ambiguity in language or to actual inversions of meaning. In such cases, doublespeak disguises the nature of the truth.

blew some of the clay lamp shades yesterday, much bigger than the ones i made in ams!! i had three to practice with, the first one broke because i didnt gather enough glass for the mold, and the last two totally survived :) it took much more glass than i was expecting!!! like 4 gathers, very heavy to work with. i started coldworking them by sawing off the tops, but i have a lot of grinding left to do on the grit wheels another day. not sure if i’ll bring them up to a polish or not.

people at the studio were super curious about them, which was really nice to see! i’ve been thinking lots about how cell-like the structure in the molds looks, it makes me think of these forms like exponentially multiplying and expanding out similar how replicating cells do. it could be really interesting to photograph a number these and create a sort of animation with the pictures that mimics cell growth.

These fused glass dichroic cabochons have a pool-like effect. Like looking down through a pool of water to a dichroic bottom. Some of the dichroic layer breaks up and floats up the sides of the cabochon towards the top of the cab, to form the edges of the pool. The video tutorial includes the design, materials, and equipment information, as well as cutting the odd-shaped glass, plus coldworking…

Mystery Skulls Animated glitter jar, sandblasted with the MSA skull emblem and filled with pink glitter and glow powder in mineral oil.

[Video description: Small glass jar with black plastic screw-top lid, held between thumb and index finger. Size of jar is approximately 3.5cm total height and 1.5cm in diameter. The outer surface is sandblasted with two Mystery Skulls Animated skull emblems, on opposite sides of the jar. The jar is filled with a mix of pink glitter and glow powder suspended in clear mineral oil. First part of the video is a slow turnaround of the jar, showing off the sandblasted parts. The glitter and glow powder has settled to the bottom of the jar.

Second part of the video shows the jar being flipped and twisted around to get the the glitter and glow powder cascading down and swirling around. Third part of the video is the same twirling-about thing but in the dark, to show off the pink glow. End description.]

INVESTIGATE - Term 2 Week One - COURSE INTRODUCTION

What do you want to make? This year I am interested in enhancing my leadlighting and potentially stained painting skills, further deep diving into sandblasting, further developing kiln-forming skills and some glassblowing in Ruth Allen's trainee program. I would also like to incorporate some metalworking into my work - welding, plasma cutting, etc.

What techniques are on your wishlist? I would love to learn lost wax casting, coldworking techniques, stack firing/thick fusing and using molds.

What areas do you want to skill up? I would like to gain more confidence in consolidating my knowledge about annealing, firing schedules, and improving my ability to match conceptual frameworks with physical output.

Overall goal for the year? I have my first solo show at the end of the year, and I'd like to make a number of pieces that contribute to that body of work as well as stand on their own coneptually/aesthetically.

Faceted Glass Crystal with Silver Spiral Encapsulation. Beautiful colors and reflections can be enjoyed with this piece . A lot of work went into this one (over 4 hours), and I still see areas that could use improvement. However I am really happy with the result. #glassofig #crystal #facet #coldwork #fume https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tshxrH6d0/?igshid=1r1hol6631ukk
