The World According to Arlene

"Elephant Walk II" Fusing glass has been around since the beginning of time being discovered accidentally as most things are. Firing painted stained glass has been around for over 1000 years.
Three years ago a new method of fusing and firing painted stained glass through several stages was created by the famous artist, Peter McGrain who developed a style he calls Vitri-Fusáille© (Pronounced Vitri-fuse-i) and I had attended two of his workshops in NV to learn McGrain's method. Though know for the hugh stained glass walls he has created in airports and many other places over the last 20 years, he is quite collectable in the small pieces of Vitri-Fusáille© art he creates.
"Elephant Walk II" and it is a 12" x 12" piece completed in the Vitri-Fusáille© method and sits in a wrought iron stand.

This piece sold immediately upon completion.
