Vector glass

About this material

Vector Bubble Glass contains grids of tiny bubbles and controlled bubble patterns within the glass. It conjures images of diaphanous circuit boards and translucent plaid. Glass blowing techniques have been modified with digital technology, and relies on incising vector images into the glass. The resulting bubble patterns thus become akin to data streams coursing through the material. The process involves trapping air in between sheets of glass to make the enchanting patterns. Thereby multiple layers of glass are fused in a kiln. Potential applications include lighting, interior room dividers, privacy window and door panels, tabletops, vessels, & fine art.
