Description
Why make your own murrine? Because its fun creating your own designs! It can be quicker and cheaper than buying them…and did I mention more fun? Or make something bespoke that matches an existing item. You wont need to buy a special kiln for murrine. Murrine, or murrina...refers to decorative patterned slices cut from a glass cane, often featuring designs like flowers or animals, which were originally used by the Romans! The term, popularised by Venetian priest Vincenzo Zanetti, identifies these slices and the resulting mosaic-like glass objects, such as vases and tableware, that are created by arranging and fusing them together. Each project has been organised by ease and speed of assembly so you can increase your skills at your own pace. All you need is access to a flat-bed kiln and basic household and glass fusing materials.
What's included in the price?
A downloadable PDF with a 25 minute video, detailing 8 styles of murrine that you can make at home in your flatbed kiln.
