Art History BookDimensions: 8x11 inches

This a book about the history and art of glass. The book is designed to visually show the different types of glass utilized in antiquity, from an ancient necessity to a world wide demand.

Blown Glass

Glass is one of the oldest forms of art. It dates back to about 3500 years ago. There are some myths about how glass was discovered, but I don’t think anyone knows for sure how glass actually came to be. One idea is that a group of Phoenician sailors set up camp on a beach one night. They built a fire to cook some food, and set the pot in which they were to cook on some blocks of natron, which is an alkali they were carrying as cargo. The fire supposedly melted the sand, forming a small stream of glass that eventually cooled and hardened. This story probably isn’t true, it takes a lot of luck to make glass by accident, though it is made with very basic ingredients. Sand is the main ingredient, and then added to that are ashes from trees or plants which help the sand to melt.

Something like lime is also added which is a stabilizing ingredient, and it protects the glass from moisture. Virtually the same recipe is used to make glass today, but through the years there have been many variations, and new recipes continue to emerge. One idea is that a group of Phoenician sailors set up camp on a beach one night. They built a fire to cook some food, and set the pot in which they were to cook on some blocks of natron, which is an alkali they were carrying as cargo. The fire supposedly melted the sand, forming a small stream of glass that eventually cooled and hardened. This story probably isn’t true, it takes a lot of luck to make glass by accident, though it is made with very basic ingredients. The hottest trend in bathroom design today is the handmade glass sink — often referred to as a vessel sink, which has become the latest must-have for luxury homeowners. Our glass designers can even help you incorporate lighting from underneath and above to accentuate these stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces of glass art, which work equally well in traditional or contemporary settings. Ves-sel-mounted, fused, slumped, mosaic, under-mounted and hand-blown sinks have even influenced the faucet manufacturers’ designs because of their unprecedented popularity.

Early Glass Art

Toward the end of the 19th century a Bohemian father-son team, Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, combined to create what is still arguably the most stunning example of lampwork the world has ever seen. They were already widely known for their glass models of marine inverte-brates when George Lincoln Goodale, Harvard Professor and director of the Museum of Botany , commissioned them to undertake a mammoth project, the creation of detailed botanical models of common and exotic plants from Europe and North America. Benefactors of the project were Elizabeth Ware and her daughter Mary Lee Ware. Using only a simple bellows-driven lamp and a variety of home-made tools, the Blaschkas produced the models using wire frameworks to give them structure and enamels and paints to duplicate the coloration and texture of the plants. The results were stunning! The models were so lifelike, that even close scrutiny cannot distinguish between them and the real thing. Over the next 50 years, some 840 life-size model sets of plants and over 3000 oversized models of magnified plant parts and anatomical sections were produced. Most of the models are still on display at the Harvard Botanical Museum on the Harvard campus. To this day, no one has ever suc-ceeded in reproducing the Blaschka’s techniques or in duplicating the quality of their models.

The demand for refined scientific instruments continued unabated through the 19th century. Although equipment and tools became more sophisticated, the basic material - the glass - was essentially the same as when “Crystallo” was invented 200 years before. The most commonly used types of glass were prone to leaching when exposed

to caustic chemicals and had a tendency to shatter when heated and cooled repeatedly. In 1924 the scientists at the glass factories in Corning, New York invented a new, more resilient glass which was composed of a large percentage of uncombined silica, used boron instead of soda, and contained a small percentage of aluminum for clarity. Reference 8 This new borosilicate glass, named Pyrex, had a very low coefficient of expansion and was very resistant to thermal and physical shock. Since it was about 15% lighter by volume than soda-lime or flint glass but much stronger, Pyrex was ideal for apparati. However there was one problem: the melting temperature was so high that the old forced-air lamps could not melt it. A new method of heating the glass was now needed to work the new material.

Borosilicate glassIn Europe, however, the introduction of borosilicate glass did not denote the death toll for old traditions. In the town of Lauscha in particular, the local craftsmen contin-ued working strictly with German soda-lime glass, busily perfecting centuries-old techniques and perhaps uncon-sciously crossing the line from novelty to art. In particu-lar, Albin Schaedel developed and perfected a technique called “montage” that would come to characterize East German lampwork from the 1960’s on. Montage is sim-ply the assembly of many pieces of tubing into one larger bubble which is then shaped into the final vessel form. This technique is incredibly difficult and time-consuming and Schaedel and a few other Lauschans were the only ones in the world who had mastered it until recently. The vessels that resulted were impossibly intricate and very, very beautiful. Perhaps the greatest master of montage is West German flameworker Kurt Wallstab, whose work is

internationally acclaimed for its beauty and perfection. Venetian lampworkers also clung stubbornly to their traditional soda glass formulas, primarily for color com-patibility. The Moretti factory there continued to produce a broad spectrum of brilliantly colored cane, which the local lampworkers were busily mastering to create brightly colored pieces of a quality unequaled anywhere in the world. Modern masters like Lucio Bubacco, Vittorio Costantini, and Gianni Toso still carry on the Venetian traditions and techniques. Glass art includes the creation of stained glass and the making of glass shapes through glass blowing. It dates back to prehistoric times, was extensively developed in Egypt and Assyria, brought to

the fore by the Romans, and had its greatest triumphs in European cathedral building in stained glass rose-win-dows. Great ateliers like Tiffany, Lalique, Daum, Galle, the Corning schools in upper New York state, and Stubbe glassworks took glass art to the highest levels. The results were stunning! The models were so lifelike, that even close scrutiny cannot distinguish between them and the real thing. Venetian lampworkers also clung stub-bornly to their traditional soda glass formulas, primarily for color compatibility. Since it was about 15% lighter by volume than soda-lime or flint glass but much stronger, Pyrex was ideal for apparati.

Hairy Matters No.1


Thesis project about how hair functions in women’s lives to resist and accommodate the cultural ideals which constitutes beauty in the United States. This is a double sided book where side one demonstrates how hair accommodates the norm to what is socially acceptable in America.

Before the Civil Rights movement in the

’s, straight hair was the most desired

look for African American Women. This was

only because African American women felt

that having straighter hair would make them

more acceptable by whites in America. As a

result of the media’s representation of what

constitutes beauty in America, hair becomes

the marker of difference that black women

recognize at an early age. African American

women are taught at a very young age wheth-

er they have good hair or bad hair. Particu-

larly for black women, hair is more than just

hair. The desire for straight hair varies from it

just being easy to manage to being associated

with superiority.

Hairy Matters No.2


Hairy Matters No.2 is the second side of this book. This was an investigation of how hair resists the norm to what constitutes beauty in America, which was later examined and documented.


From the late th century to modern times, women began to voice their opinions and make a stand to obtain equal oppor-tunities as men. Once new laws and bills were passed in efforts for women to at-tain these common civil rights, women’s hairstyles reflected their stance against be-ing oppressed by men. Extremely short hair, shaved heads, dreadlocks, brightly colored hair, Mohawks, and cornrows are all exam-ples of hairstyles women are wearing to make an outrageous statement against society.

From the ’s till current times, women are wearing extreme hairstyles to mark their power in American culture, despite the ramifications of being shunned, discrimi-nated or looked down upon. Whether these hairstyles were considered ‘cool’, funny looking, and unattractive looking is clear-ly subjective, but what cannot be ignored is that these looks had a shocking effect on the conservatives in America. Latina’s to-day are wearing shorter hair to avoid being stereotyped and to rebel against the ma-chismo male. Movies such as La Vida Loca brought awareness of the culture be-hind the ‘chola’ (a term associated to Latina women involved in gangs) and what their look signified in the Latin community.

After the Civil rights movement, many wom-en from different ethnic backgrounds began to wear their hair in its natural state to reveal their cultural pride. Famous women such as Pam Grier, Whoppi Goldberg and Grace Jones wore extreme hairstyles to show their black pride. In the Asian community, it became more common to see young Asian females who used bold technicolor to dye their hair and even went so far as to shave their heads as a form of rebellion. This timeline docu-ments the history of hairstyles that women wore to assert their confrontation against the cultural ideals of beauty and let their unorth-odox hairstyles become the new beautiful.
