Edward J. Kachurik bubble opal paperweight
This glass sculpture /paperweight is 5" tall and 2 /34" in diameter. Ed Kachurik use a technique of coloring the hot glass surface, which is called veiling. A veil is a metallic coating that is applied to the hot glass, and then covered with clear glass, thus trapping the color inside the sculpture. Kachurik is an independent glass artist who experiments with precious metals and chemicals to create his own colors, which are unique to his line today. These transparent sculptures maximize the extraordinary inherent qualities of glass. Every design is hand crafted using wooden blocks and newspaper to work with the molten glass. His beautiful sculptures are seen in museums and galleries throughout the country.
