I’ve always wanted to experiment with fabric encased in glass. I’ve had a friend for 6 years who blows glass in Ithaca, NY at Buttermilk Studios, an independently owned glass blowing studio. For two days my friend Alix and I played with the concept of permanently sealing finely cut up silks into Pyrex glass tubes. After a few trials with rounded shapes and ‘donut’ shapes, we discovered the best method for sealing in the silk was using ¼ inch diameter tubes. I think the finished samples we ended up with look great and I’d like to keep experimenting with this idea.
