Glass on glass offers unusual, kiln-formed glassware made with recycled glass. By using reclaimed glass to create wall tiles, bowls, candle bridges and myriad other useful and decorative objects, offering a material destined for landfill a new life by giving it a different shape, colour and purpose; it is a constantly evolving process. Designer maker Elaine Mason's commitment is that each piece should be unique, a work of art in it's own right, not to be replicated or copied unless specifically intended.
Elaine has chosen to work with re-claimed glass and to create unique pieces of colour and texture from an otherwise waste product - re-cycling at its best. Using a fusing process (two pieces of glass fused together in the kiln) it is possible to encapsulate all manner of other materials within the glass - from precious metals to seed heads - and for this, too, she looks at re-cycling what is around her; cutting up used t-light holders, empty tomato puree tubes etc.
