Process in glass art : a study of some technical and conceptual issuesHemp, Doreen 11 1900 (has links)
Glass has been made and used for centuries but South African artists, isolated for the last three
decades, are only now becoming aware of the potential of hot or warm glass as an art medium. In
antiquity glass objects were created using various processes but the 'factory' tradition began with
the discovery of the blowing iron in the first century AD. The invention of the tank furnace in the
late 1950s revolutionised modem production, enabling individual artists to make glass in private
studios without blowing teams. The research describes ancient.. glassmaking processes and
indicates how they have been explored, adapted and used by contemporary artists world wide,
challenging craft orientated paradigms, and proving that glass is a viable and important sculpture
medium. The practical research demonstrates the application of many processes and relates
technical issues to sculptural concepts which are realized through the physical and material
properties of glass. / Art History, Visual Arts & Musicology / M.A. (Fine Art)
