Alongside his exploration of Murrine, Stephen Bradbourne uses ‘cane’ and ‘twisted cane’ techniques to achieve complex linear patterning in his glass vessels. An interest in and observation of handcrafts, fabric and weaving techniques are starting points for Bradbourne’s Thread Study series. This striking object is an exhibition piece, or can be used as a vase with a single elegant stem.
MADE IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND.
At Monmouth Glass we handcraft exquisite glass objects that people need and use every day.
Monmouth is a traditional glassblowing studio, established in 2012 by glass artists Stephen Bradbourne and Isaac Katzoff. Our furnace holds 120 kilos of glass, and it is kept molten at a temperature of 1100 degrees Celsius twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
Every piece is gathered from the furnace then hand shaped and blown using traditional glassblowing techniques that date back hundreds of years..
