LIGHT OPTIONS
Looking at a way to light up the inside of the glass Really like how the strip lighting defuses through this piece I like this effect, but diffusion isn't as good through the bigger pieces. The concentrated light effect on specific points is really nice but is more deep sea aquatic than peat river in the Scottish Mountains... Might be different with final pieces which will be thicker. #Mountkeen #colour #colourandlight #glass #kilnformed #refraction #scotland

Kiln bed is also leaving a texture which will need to be dealt with #MountKeen #kilnformed #handmade #colour #process #test #decisions

GLASS AND COPPER part1
First tests fusing glass and copper Absolutely love the colour that the copper goes when it fuses with the glass. Really like how the glass flows over the metal forms. Temperature test at 720 °C - some fusing round the corners but a lot of tension - my theory is that the metal is shifting after the glass has cooled I think that as the temperature increases and the fusing becomes more wide spread the tension will become less. Temperature test at 815 °C the fusing is much mor
