Glass “Lace” is created in the kiln using crushed glass- when layered to just the right thickness, the tiny air gaps between the crushed pieces create a lacy pattern as the glass melts, resulting in a very distinctive surface full of thousands of tiny, pierce-work holes.

The beautiful color gradations and shading that are a hallmark of Lee Wright’s lacework are created by delicately sifting darker colors over light, to create soft transitions that make the pieces look painted or rendered. This Amber Quilt Bowl is accented by glass “buttons” at the intersections.

Glass lace pieces should be handled gently, and may be displayed “bowl style” in a supportive ring or upright on an acrylic easel. Not recommended for shipping.
