when applying the stringer containing the lattichino, it is possible to distort the pattern of the lattichino and the distortions will remain through completion. to get one really good and symetric and precise, one must carefully apply the stringer whilst ensuring they do not distort the color work.
I really like your stuff. I just started boro at my school and I was wondering if you could possibly explain how you "coil" the lattichino in a little more detail. I tried it yesterday and I just ended up with a swirl on the back of my pendant. Thanks.
I will try to set aside the time to show more detail of the actual application of the lattichino up close. the big trick is making sure that the art of the lattichino is not distorted while you are applying it to the back of the pendant. thanks for the comment and hold tight, more detail coming, oh and if I forget, remind me!
That was absolutely amazing. I am always fascinated by glasswork like this, true artwork. I am impressed at your skill, and hope that you continue your work for a long time!
glass art requires patience during annealing, you should get used to looking at what you did the day before when you open your kiln the next day. I just fill mine up, then take a look the next day. remember too that it is important to keep a piece at the phase transition temperature in the kiln for a minimum of 10 minutes per millimeter of thickness. so if you have a thick 10mm piece, it needs 100 minutes of dwell at 960-1150, then the slower you cool it down the better.
Dude bummer about being sick.I got up last night or morning 4:30am and my back was so fucked up that I had to get up and work it out feels much better guess its all the working out glass blowing and what not.TB
a few weeks ago I had to pull a full 12 hour production day, it just about killed my shoulders, and the muscles in my arms! took a few days to recover from that.
just curious to see what you meant by not distorting the lattichino, look forward to seeing the new video sometime soon!
