"Carnival Coasters"

Art Glass Coasters

Created by Helen Rudy
Striking, colorful, playful and sophisticated fused glass Coasters. Many of colored squares and rectangles of hand-cut glass are layered on top of each other like a large sandwich. The glass is first kiln-fired to fuse the each component into a single piece of glass.

The Carnival Coasters have little bump on on the back to prevent slipping on the table top. The top of each coaster is also lightly textured to prevent glasses from sticking, when picked up. These coasters are functional and very stunning. Each set comes wrapped in a colorful orange ribbon, perfect for gift giving.

Each set of four coasters are uniqe.

About this Artist

Helen Rudy

" I am interested in how colors mix and react to create depth and balance in the piece. I focus on the subtle effects light can have on the art."

Helen Rudy came to creating beautiful fused glass pieces from a non-traditional background in construction management. Her attention to color detail, layering, and saturation heralds back to her degree. Her crisp and clean designs clearly focus on the interaction of light and its effect on the glass.

Each piece of glass is measured and hand cut. By layering one color or many different colors on top of each other, a bright and bold design is created. The glass is first fired in a kiln to about 1500 degrees F to melting or fusing point. Sometimes a second firing is needed to create a shape. The glass can be in the kiln for several days before finishing.

Almost entirely self taught, Rudy attended workshops with Milon Townsend, and Lisa Voigt, attended the Pilchuck Scool of Glass to study with Alicia Lomne, and in 2011 studied casting Pate De Verre with Anna Boothe.

The coasters I received are much darker than those pictured in the catalog. Artist has been contacted to see if brighter ones are available.These are not really practical as "coasters" - surface is bumpy and slippery, but they are very decorative and will make nice accents on our shelves.
