Glass pipes are a part of the glass world that often seems tucked away- almost like shhh, it's not really part of our art. But you know, even if it's not an industry that you agree with, there are some lovely glass pieces out there.
Recently, I saw a website, http://www.glasspipes.org, which has some very interesting and gorgeous glass work.
Here are shots of a collaboration between multiple glass artists called, "Talking With Dragons (Part Two)" More photos can be found here.
Apparently it's over 2 feet long and 9 inches wide.
Even if pipes aren't your "thing", you might want to stop by and look around the site. There are some very cool pieces with wonderful details, patterns and shapes there.
Now that I've found it, I know I'll be back. Just to see what's being done. See you tomorrow. Happy Weekend!
that piece is insane! the pipe guys out there really do create some of the most jaw dropping borosilicate art pieces... I totally agree with you that its not everyone's "cup of tea" but this industry is brimming with incredible artists, and frankly this industry has fueled some great advancements in the borosilicate art world
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing work of art! I am totally impressed with it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thanks for sharing! I actually would like to make pipes someday. It seems like a bit of a pipe dream (haha) at the moment but it looks like so much fun! xox
