The Glass Artist Spotlight! 
In the Spotlight Today:      Toots Zynsky   

Toots Zynsky's distinctive heat-formed filet de verre (glass thread) vessels enjoy a widespread popularity and deserved acclaim for their often extraordinary and always unique explorations in color.  Defying categorization, her pieces inhabit a region all their own, interweaving the traditions of painting, sculpture, and the decorative arts. 

To make her vessels, Zynsky first layers thousands of multicolored glass threads onto a round heat-resistant fiberboard plate.  For her, this part of the process is like drawing or painting.  This mass of glass threads is then fused inside a kiln.  While hot, the fused thread disk is allowed to slowly slump into a series of consecutively deeper and rounder preheated bowl-shaped metal forms.  To make taller vessels, the piece is turned upside down and slumped over a cone-shaped mold. Finally, Zynsky reaches into the kiln, wearing special heat-resistant gloves, and she squeezes the glass into a unique undulating form.

Zynsky has made a life's work of studying and manipulating colored glass through the vehicle of her distinctive, undulating forms. Continually evolving, her work is a formal exploration in color and composition that has no end.
