Copper Blue Parabola
This elegant blown glass vessel from the artist's "Parabola Series" is created using the exacting "veiled cane" technique to achieve perfectly-spaced stripes. To make veiled cane, Patchen first encases a rod of white glass in molten clear glass, then coats it again in molten blue glass. After a final encasement of molten clear glass it is stretched 50-60 feet long, reducing its diameter to about the thickness of a pencil. After cooling, the rod is cut into many 6" lengths, reheated and rolled onto a molten glass bubble on a blowpipe to begin the blowing process.
