About Glass by Sands

"I’ve always loved glass, the way it sparkles, the multiple colours that change with the light but making it is truly amazing.  There’s something mesmerising about the way colours change in the heat.  How easy it is to manipulate at 1000 degrees Celsius then, just as quickly it’s as hard as glass (excuse the pun) at 600 degrees Celsius when you have to reheat it, or get quicker with your designs!

Experimenting with colours and learning new techniques, I know where any slight imperfections are in each piece but this is what makes them unique.  For example; chill marks from the metal tools we use can add an interesting twist to a piece, turning an ordinary vase into a prism of light effects.

For me, perfection is the imperfection!"
