Manufactured by Bullseye Glass Co., it is clear glass on which black “stringers” (thin, round rods) are randomly affixed. Then the entire sheet, along with the stringers, is covered with a rainbow iridescent coating.The texture created by the rods has the effect of concentrating the coating, creating vivid colors in unpredictable patterns.
Creating the dish was a 3-step process:
Glass Selection & Assembly: Three pieces of chopstix glass and strips of iridized gold glass were fitted together and placed atop a square of clear glass. Fusing in the Kiln: The two layers were placed in a kiln and heated to 1475 degrees, the temperature at which glass melts and the layers fused together. Shaping the Dish: To create the dish shape, it went back into the kiln, this time on top of a mold, and was heated to 1250 degrees. At this temperature the glass softened and gravity caused it to sink into the mold and assume its final shape.
