Seaweed Series Stoppered Bottle, Tall
Art Glass Vessel
Created by
Steven Main
Artist Steve Main's art glass sculptures reflect his interest in patterns found in nature. He began this piece, which features a carved stopper, by laying out hand-pulled cane in a mosaic-like pattern; this glass is placed onto a sheet of steel and heated. Main then rolls his blowpipe glass-working tool across the hot steel, picking up the design onto a core of colored glass. After several layers of clear glass are gathered from the furnace, he blows out and forms the piece into its final shape, then sandblasts it to a smooth finish.
