Experience the sinuous movement of glass through colorful ribbons that capture the exquisitely fluid process of glassblowing. Each ribbon is layered in colors and stretched into individual shapes designed for walls, tables, hanging pieces, and sculptures.
The first step is knowing the space. Plans, site visits, and/or photos are needed to make the art feel a part of the space. Carlyn and her team provide sketches or renders of ideas. Understanding the overall budget or looking at the perfect design will drive possibilities. With the design, a color palette will be suggested and approved to make sure all visual elements are fully understood. All of these details will be captured in a contract.
A template of the piece is arranged on our studio wall so we can begin making the custom glass pieces to fill in the shape. We will use and blend the colors from the color palette. As we pull the glass ribbons, we will place them onto the studio template. We will provide photos or studio visits with you to make sure the direction of the piece is in accordance with your vision. Also during these check-ins, if a color change is desired, we can add color to any of the remaining ribbons. After we have pulled and assembled the piece on the wall, we will do a final check-in. Then the team will polish the ends of all the ribbons and pack them up for installation.
The studio template will be used to do the final installation. Each hole is marked with how far off the wall the spacer was as well as which ribbon corresponds with it. Just as it was on the studio wall, it will be installed onto your wall. Therefore there are no unfortunate surprises and the final piece is just as beautiful as you originally imagined with us.
