Lisa-Jane Harvey – Glass Artist

Just got a new order for a purple one. I used heffalump and Thai orchid to crete the twisted band, then used a Heffalump and Crocus twistie with a light hint of Thai Orchid in the implosion. The result is a beautiful soft and pretty glass ring. Love these!

LOVING glass rings, I have been asked about how safe they are to wear as it seems there have been some glass rings in the market that break easily. I have found that if glass is at least 5mm thick it has remarkable strength. I would suggest you cannot go rock climbing and typically you cannot drop them on the concrete floor, you probably also cannot use them to break your fall on a late night out in the Viaduct but you can wear them as a cocktail ring without too much concern for strength.

I bought a blow pipe off Anne Londez and have only just started to use it, I am having great fun with it! I have been blowing hollow forms in my preparation for lucent exhibition which will take place in October 2010.  I have attached blown glass forms to glass ring bands using my large hole mandrel and man oh man it has been wicked fun.

This is such a fun design and I am loving them. I have created various coloured glass links that are joined with sterling silver jump rings. Each chain has 15 glass links in it and can fit over the head. They come in various colours and can be bold, bright, subtle depends on the mood.
