Carole Perry's glass tapestries are the result of a life-long aversion to the "Do NOT Touch" rules regarding glass. "A large part of my passion for glass is the real need to touch each piece that captures my heart".
A piece begins with glass threads, cut and woven on the kiln shelf. At least 9 layers deep, each sculpture requires more than 5000 threads. The absence of a mold in the process and the fact that each piece must be shaped in 15 seconds or less, once it is removed from the kiln, insures that each piece is impossible to duplicate.
