Glass Eye Studio Black Hole Blown Glass Paperweight
Size: 3"
All glass from Glass Eye's Seattle studio is individually crafted by artists, not machines. This ensures that every piece has its own unique characteristics, just like the individuals who collect it.
Everything from Glass Eye Studio contains ash from the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption.
All pieces are signed and presented with story cards in a velvet keepsake box.
A black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated that light cannot escape, creating the illusion of a hole in space. Each globe starts as a precise amount of glass on the end of a blowpipe or rod. The piece takes shape as the artist manipulates the glass with light but precise touches. After a quick fire-polish, the piece is brought to room temperature slowly, over a period of days. Some pieces are finished using diamond wheel grinders and polishing stones. 3 inches in diameter
