Creating a Valentine’s Day heart helps put into perspective the methods of sculpting glass and the detail that goes along with it. Using extreme temperatures to liquefy sand, a metal rod is then used to gather the molten liquid, which is shaped and detailed during this stage. Constant rotation of the metal rod is necessary to keep the form intact while keeping the molten liquid from dripping off. The creative process takes around twenty minutes before the glass is solidified and cooled off.
Beyond the Valentine’s Day hearts, Patterson Glass offers an array of visually stunning custom glass sculptures. These may include vases, artistic figures, decorative light bulbs, ring and pen holders, glass glow balls and a variety of other specialty options. In addition to the variety of shapes and colors, Patterson also creates and sells various glow in the dark glass creations.
