These are some of the 300 plates, each blown by hand, that we’ll be using for the hanging sculpture at Sprint Center. Each of them is being coated with a thick, anti-shatter substance that will allow the pieces to stay intact even if breakage occurs. This is a messy, odorous part of the process that my crew detests, but it’s necessary for purposes of safety. Expensive too: the gunk costs $400 per Imperial Gallon.
This is just one of many steps we have to take before we can begin hanging glass. We gladly take them all (except for the gunk).
Who commissioned the sculpture? University of Kansas Hospital, of course.
Wow! The colours are beautiful!
What is the size of each of these glass pieces? They are stunning. Good luck with getting these puppies up!
Toodles,
Jayne
Beader: Thanks. Should be stunning.
Jayne: They average 22″ in diameter. Have hung them before, so we’re accustomed to the process, but it’s quite time-consuming. Well, that’s what we get paid for.
