We build a decorative holder for a teardrop shaped glass vase. The design is made from one piece and incorporates a hollow foot with branches that follow the shape of the vase and end with a leaf form. The demo shows the complete process of turning, carving and steam bending for a teardrop shaped glass vase. And you learn how
- to design a holder from a glass shape,
- the project design for the turning,
- to turn in tight spaces,
- to hollow out a piece from both ends,
- to use power carving techniques and
- to use a snap-steam bending technique.
Several options for carving are suggested however the design is only limited by your imagination.
This demo is intended for turners with some turning experience however there will be tips for all levels of experience.
Please contact me for demo and or class options.
