Co[]ect - favourite 2 pieces



Show-stealers for me were this small wall of bricks made in a paperweight technique and then cut into blocks and painstakingly polished to a high glint, by
Oiva Toikka (and colleagues). And some disks of perfect optical glass with fused crescents of coloured, slightly striped lead glass - UV glued together. Brilliant optical effects. Pity I so dislike polishing as this kind of perfection shows the magic of glass at its best.
