Today I am looking art glass by Robert Wiener. All of these works are available at Artful Home.

Robert developed his Colorbar Murrine Series by joining the hot glass technique perfected in Murano with the kilnformed, or warm glass process. Art glass specifically designed to be compatible during the firing process is thoughtfully selected. The art glass is cut, arranged and placed in a kiln where it is carefully heated to a temperature that causes the glass to melt, or fuse together. After the cooling process, or annealing, the result is creating cane, or glass bars. The cane, or colorbars as the artist calls them, may be further manipulated and are eventually cut into many small pieces, called millefiori or murrine. Each murrine is meticulously arranged by hand and then fired together to produce the final piece

Quick notes:
