Wall Plates

These ornamental plates are intented to be hung from a simple picture hanger.  With minimal hardware you can transform a normal wall into a stunning display of color and form.  Each plate is made with the same process as "crown glass"; early windows were filled with these "roundels", or "bullseyes".

Wall Plate Styles

Each style has a different application of color.  Some are twisted or pulled or pressed, depending on your taste.  Why not get one of each.

Spiral Nebula Plates

These plates start as a simple spiral in one color (made with a half/half twist, or an optic twist).  Then we add an opaque background to give a bright background to the whole plate.

Marbled Plates

These plates are a base of opaque color and accented with two other colors of frit.  Twisting the color up and kneading it  makes a marbled background with plenty of color texture.  Quite reminiscent of stone or a deep space nebula, these are quite popular and provide an abstract pattern for your own wall!

Starburst Plates

With one base color and a background of white, we plunge the bubble into an aluminum optic mold and produce this simple and effective starburst pattern.

Equinox plates

This series is produced from the Equinox show at the carriage house gallery in 2010.  I wanted to use this interference pattern to produce some glass mandalas.  I hope you enjoy...
