Kaleidoscope of Color
by Michele Bennett
10.75” x 10.75” x 2.5”
When reflecting on the theme of Journeys, I considered how we evolve as artists. Learning one technique often leads to variations and new discoveries. One of my signature looks, featuring colorful bars, emerged from iterations on a simple technique.
Technique: This piece uses a combination of a variation on pattern bars and strip construction. To achieve the satin finish, it was sandblasted before slumping.
Artist Statement:
My journey into fused glass began over 15 years ago, following many years in pottery. Passionate about transforming glass into functional art, I have developed a unique style that blends practicality with vibrant aesthetics. Much of my work is characterized by its bold use of color and attention to detail. Each piece is carefully crafted, layer by layer, through cutting, rearranging, fusing, and re-fusing, until the colors and shapes come together and the final piece emerges.
