New Beginnings in Glass at All in One Art Studio

September 13, 2020

This has been a time of experimentation for Louise Hobbs working with glass. It seems a happy thing at a time consumed by Corona.

She’s been painting on float (window) glass with enamels. Glass is cut in different shapes, with hangers fired in. There is a whole tradition of this kind of painting, especially faces and hands. Contemporary glass artists explore their own painting styles and subjects. Hers have included subjects such as owls, chickens, mermaids, faces, figures, and landscapes.

In other experiments, Hobbs uses cut, fused, and slumped sheets of Bullseye glass to make functional shapes such as bowls. When copper and sulfur glasses are placed next to each other, rings of another color are made around the shapes. 

Another adventure has been making silk screen decals, screening enamel glass paints directly onto glass, or using laser printer photographs with carbon-based ink as decals, which fire to a sepia color.

Eventually, she plans to make cast, three-dimensional pieces.
