Jr. Glass and Metal Casting

Here is a collection of my sculptural work from the spring semester at Alfred University. The class was Jr. Glass and Metal casting. My professors let me take the class with the understanding that I could include stone as part of my work. Initially I only used glass and metal and it was very challenging. Once I started looking for the rocks first, then the sculptures started coming together much easier. The sparkling material in "Inner Shimmer" and "Sapphire Spire" is mica which proved to be impervious to the heat of molten glass. I hope to be able to create more pieces with remarkable mineral.
