Quartz Study

Glass & Quartz Specimens |2016

Quartz study has been an on-going project from the moment I began working with silver, which naturally progressed into my glass-making research.

From a young age I have been fascinated by precious and semi-precious stones of all kinds, quartz in particular due to its naturally occurring crystal formations.  Through the process of intense heat and pressure quartz is formed, and through experimenting with different specimens I continue to collect data on their reactions to various glass-making methods.
