Here are some shots I found from 2006 of a project I did for the French American School Auction. I brought colored Bulls Eye glass sheets, frit, stringer and powder into the classroom where students each made a little glass sandwich making tiles about 2 1/2 inches square. I then fused all their sandwich tiles together in a kiln and made a panel for doing an Aussie roll-up. I rolled the panel up on a collar and made a bowl with help from my friend Andy Paiko. I really enjoyed the enthusiasm the children had for this new medium and the imagery they utilized. They were all totally fearless. Pictured here are two shots of the roll-up panel (top and bottom), the finished bowl from a few angles, and the process involved in transforming a fused tiles into a blown glass form.
