Silhouette of the Sea - Seascape SandcastsSarah P Art Glass

Crafting Method: The sandcasts are created using a sand base that has shapes pressed into it and then powdered glass colours dusted over the surface, using templates to keep the colours in certain areas of the design. Once the design is finished a metal frame is placed over the design and glass poured in. It is then put into the kiln to cool for 12 hours. 'Silhouette of the Sea' has wavy lines indented into the sea which are then covered with different shades of blue. The sky starts with orange at the bottom and works up to a deep aubergine colour at the top and the white beam of light floods from the black lighthouse - a very dramatic design.
