Light Reading - Light Amber/Purple is a piece from Bob Leatherbarrow's distinguished "Light Reading" series, highlighting his signature kiln-formed glass technique. This piece measures 1.5" x 9.25" x 5.5" and showcases a stunning combination of light amber and purple hues, creating a blend of warmth and richness. To create this piece, it took multiple firings in an electric kiln at temperatures between 600 to 825 degrees Celsius (1100 to 1525 degrees F). Bob treats each sheet of glass as a canvas, meticulously applying and manipulating layers of coloured glass powders. These layers are fused to create vibrant, textured surfaces that captivate and play with light, showcasing a unique colour palette from chemical reactions and careful composition. With meticulous layering and fusion of coloured glass, this piece visually conveys weight and lightness, aligning with the series' playful take on 'light reading.'
This art piece is an ideal addition for collectors who appreciate the subtle interplay of colour and texture in glass art. If Light Reading - Light Amber/Purple captures your interest, please:
