Description

This framed iconic Spitfire is a mixture of techniques; kiln formed glass, digital drawing and image manipulation to create the silhouette.

(also available are a Lancaster, a Hurricane and a Dakota – the BBMF team)

First, the coloured background is created using a variety of glass powders. Each one is hand sifted, each one is unique and I cannot accurately predict the outcome or distribution and depth of colour.

A layer of glass is added on top to create depth and dimension to the picture, and this top layer is either screen printed with glass enamels, or a specially made decal is applied (images created with special pigments). Either way, the image is applied by hand, and then fired to ensure permanence (the pigments in the decals and enamels fuse fully to the glass, they don’t just sit on the surface)

The glass is fired twice in one my specialist digitally controlled glass fusing kilns and annealed for strength and durability – each firing cycle takes between 18 and 24 hours.

This piece is framed in a deep frame; this one is black “polcore” (recycled material, and the frames are made in the UK) which has a grain finish and backed with complementary mountboard. The frame can either free-standing as it is approx 1″ (2.5cm deep), or be wall hung, as there is hanging bar inside the back – aperature is approximately 5″ (13cm) and outer size is about 17cm

Handmade in Derbyshire
