Spectrum 96 Soda-Lime Glass
 
This piece was created & fired during Patty Gray's Advanced Fusing & Design class at Pratt.  If you ever get a chance to take a class with Patty Gray, take a B-vitamin for stamina and prepare for lift off -- this lady rocks!  You will leave class with your head chock full of incredible ideas that are bound to rocket your work into new directions!
 
 
Layout of Spectrum 96 glass to create a pattern bar blank.  Second pic shows fused blank ready for grinding and slumping which will yield a thick bowl similar to the one above.
