Glass Experience


My experience of working with glass clearly made me think of it as a very distinctive material compared to any other materials I have used ion my projects.  I really enjoyed the experience of working with glass because, it gave me the opportunity to be creative and be able to imagine beyond one different state of matter, which is glass can be transformed in to liquid and solid, this alteration makes the experience of working with glass easy and effective.

I was fortunate to work with glass in liquid form and solid form and I would admit it is easier to work with glass in its liquid state. When glass is solid it is a fragile material but it’s not easy to sculpture it takes time and more practice to learn the process skillfully, once one is comfortable it becomes enlightening and the results are worth the hard work.

I also enjoyed the fact I could manipulate glass into different objects and color; the best part is the effect of fully transparency. It was easy to clean and just enjoy the process with out much fear of making mistakes with the material. It was also interesting how glass came indifferent shapes and forms and made it interesting to manipulate.

As much as I praise and adore glass as a material, its unfortunate I didn’t get to learn more about it or I was as well skilled into using the material therefor the work wasn’t perfect, but Its nerve racking that it is a fragile material and very delicately handled since it could be hazardous.
