These rings have an adjustable band. Measurements: Approximately 3cm x 3cm face. Joy Levins has been exploring various glass techniques since 1992. These include cold work - sandblasting and etching in addition to hot glass kiln forming techniques. Joy creates her pieces using both vitrigraph and murrine techniques, whereby glass is melted to produce stringers and canes of various colours and thicknesses. These canes are then sliced to create murrine before being encapsulated using various firing temperatures. Joy gained a BA (Hons) in Architectural Glass in 1996 and has since continued to explore the inherently beautiful qualities that Float glass and more recently Spectrum glass can encompass. Joy’s pieces have been described as ethereal, creating a feeling of calm and are recognised for their ability to reflect and refract light.
