Dehanna Jones - Totally Blown Glassworks

Blown glass with bold patterns and contemporary colors.
My artwork is created by a combination of traditional glass blowing techniques and my attraction to intense color. I incorporate technical elements of hot glass sculpting and casting in my predominately blown forms. This allows me to add feet, handles, lip wraps and a variety of other elements while the vessel is hot.
I first gather molten glass from a 2150 degree furnace on a blow pipe and colorize each vessel. My work is not painted, but colored glass manipulated while hot to form pattern. I use the transparency of glass to transmit and reflect light through the layers of color to increase the surface intensity while retaining the smooth glossy nature of blown glass.
