This clock is made by stacking strips of different coloured glass 8 to 10 layers high and tack fusing them together in a kiln. When the layers of glass are fused (stuck) together and cooled, the bar is then cut into different shapes on a tile saw. The chunks of glass shapes are then weighed and a calculation is made as to the how big the size of glass will likely flow to when it is melted. A dam to contain the glass is constructed in the kiln in this size. The glass chunks are returned to the kiln and placed inside the dam in a random pattern and fired to a very high temperature so that the glass will naturally flow into unique patterns so no two pieces of glass art using this method will ever turn out the same.  The piece is then coldworked by hand, (finished by grinding off any rough or sharp  edges and polishing the piece, finally  installing the clock mechanism. This beautiful clock measures approx 19.5cm wide X 19.5cm high (21.5cm high in stand) and is presented on a 15cm X 8cm x 2cm oak stand (included) and requires 1 x AA battery (supplied).

I have called this piece “Magma” as it reminds me of red hot larva as it cascades down the volcano and crashes into the sea.
