glass--Dalle de Verre--slab glass, one inch tall!
Hammer and chisel and Nature shape it, with a little help from this artisan ; -)
Another title you can use: slabs of glass. In the 1930's the French started pouring slabs 8inches by 12 inches by an inch thick. The rectangles were soon worked into different shapes. Church windows blossomed. The dalles transmitted light and color like nothing seen before; chiseled pieces were especially light active. A moving sun over a chiseled glass was a show unto itself. Here are a few examples....
Dalle de Verre: a full slab is about 12" x 8" by 1 inch. Score it with a glass cutter, smack the score with a chisel, and refine more with the chisel.
Window Art - 14" x 21", can be hung in front of a window, or fit these between the studs on an outside wall for a colored window.
Table Inlay - Redwood trunk about 26" diameter; dalles are bonded in epoxy, iron base is 42" high. Remote diode lights, 110v.
