About GlassCrush:


Sharon Foster

Glass Crush is all about my crush on glass. Hot, cold - whatever - I just love the feel, the texture, the colour, how light dances through it, the weight, the drama, how no two pieces are alike - I am totally crushing.

I find hot glass to be 2 parts skill and 1 part luck. You set out with one idea in mind, and often another completely unrelated idea takes over. It's like drawing with honey, and molding with Jell-O. And it's fabulous.

Lampworking is the art of melting compatible glass rods in an oxygen-propane torch and wrapping them around coated mandrels (metal sticks). Once melted, and annealed in a kiln, these beads then cool and can be removed from the mandrels, leaving a small hole in the centre of your bead.

Colours and textures can be blended to create completely unique individual works of art.

In addition, I love what the kiln itself does to glass. I also create fused glass pendants and vessels much to my surprise and delight!

Thanks for joining me in my journey in glass.
