Window Magic

glass Aficionado Magazine Cover piece for March 2007.

Reprinted from interview: For this piece I tried some new ideas I had recently with the clear wigwag windows. I have been playing around with these a lot the last year or two, and they were originally inspired by a Bearclaw piece.

I made some special stick stack tubing for this piece which has red/black lines on the inside of the tubing, and is completely black on the outside of the tubing. Most of the exterior of the pipe is black, but I utilize the clear wigwag windows to show the red/black designs on the inside of the pipe.

The piece is GonG style, and includes two different sized bowls and a matching GonG ash-catcher. I'm loving the GonG stuff because it adds new challenges in designing the piece...
