Crista Van Slyck-Matteson: Living life outside in the Pacific Northwest. Kiln cast glass sculpture.
It's practically impossible to make a deer look any more gorgeous than it already is, but where there's a will, there is definitely a way....so double cheers to Crista Matteson for pulling off a feat of magic.
@crista_matteson first creates a wax sculpture which she then covers in myriad "layers of plaster, silica, sand, ground clay and fiberglass to create a refractory mold that goes into the kiln".
"Before placing the piece in the kiln, the wax is steamed out, leaving the negative space behind. The mold spends approximately a week in the kiln while glass chunks are heated to 1,520 degrees Fahrenheit, melted into the mold, and then slowly cooled back to room temperature. At this point, the mold is cut open to remove the glass. The mold and wax are used only once, so each piece is unique. Lastly, the glass goes through a process of cutting, grinding, and polishing to achieve a finished surface."
