Newspaper Vases
Glass vases that are created with a mould out of newspaper.These vases incorporate wet newspaper which traditionally is a common tool used during the glassblowing process.
After several times of blowing the original shape of the molds disappeared. The process allows the creation of a unique series of glass products.
In the first instance the newspaper was made wet and layered in a compact way. Unexpectedly, the several blowings resultedonly in slow and slight changes of shape.
This is a simple and cheap mold which allows the creation of a unique series of glass products.
In the second instance the newspaper was layered more loosely
and had a way more distinctave influ-ence on the products shape. After a certain time the original shape of the mold disappeared and the heated glass cut its way through the burned newspaper.
