Artist Statement |
||
| Alison Schleich, crime scene investigator and fused glass artist loves her work. For Alison, fusing glass is like solving a mystery and revealing the hidden beauty of the glass. Fused glass is a term for glass that has been fired at select high temperatures in a kiln to create various results with the glass. There is an element of investigative process to it, starting with deducing the way the glass will appear after firing, cutting and shaping the glass, then devising the best heating schedule for achieving the desired effect. The brilliant optical properties of the pieces are often a result of using dichroic glass, originally developed by NASA for use in the face shields of space suits. Alison's final products include glass art, jewelry, tiles and functional pieces including plates, bowls, coasters and drawer pulls. Alison works in Portland, Oregon. | ||
