Caryn Brown
Creating work in a contemporary organic style, Caryn Brown enjoys experimenting with and pushing the boundaries of kiln glass. From concept to creation, she manipulates the fundamental materials of sheet glass, frit, and stringers. She surrenders her work to the kiln, where the magic of heat, often in excess of 1500 degrees, works to change the raw materials into art.
Brown uses the edges of glass to create her designs. To create each piece, she cuts hundreds of glass strips. Varying the length and height, she arranges these glass strips inside a dam she designs. The piece is heated in the kiln, then cold worked until it is smooth and polished. With synergy in mind, she specifically designs a stainless steel stand for each piece.
Brown is a self-taught ceramic artist whose artmaking was interrupted by a health issue. Although she could no longer sculpt in clay, there was no way that she was going to stop creating art. Brown turned to kiln working and educated herself about the science and physics of glass. She has spent years reading, trying, doing, and experimenting to get to where she is today.
Customer Reviews
Perfect for our deck. Looks great with the back drop of the water.
My 4th gift
Looks great in various gardens
I call this my glass 'totem'.....seems appropriate. I love it and many of my friends make a comment as they walk into my home. In the afternoon the sun shines through it and reflects its colors on the house. Great purchase.
I could not be happier with my multi-color garden panel! It looks amazing in my garden by adding that dash of color that I needed. Caryn Brown is a very talented artist.
I ordered this for my garden and it is a perfect addition. The shipment came well packed and it was easy to assemble and put into the ground. You need soft/wet earth, yet it is secure when stabilized. I ordered the blue/sea color and in both shade and light, it is very beautiful.
