A field of turquoise and tangerine glass murrine sweeps across the bowl, divided by a meandering ladder of blue and orange, reminiscent of the Golden Gate Bridge.
The glass cylinders in this bowl are sections individually cut from hand-pulled glass cane, which I create by heating glass to 1500 degrees and pulling it into rods while molten in a modern-day adaptation of the 16th century techniques of the Murano glassmakers.
Fused, cold worked and slumped with a gentle rise in the middle.
