Repair 1950s Bitossi “frite” vase
|
0
Hello Guild Members
I got a referral to your guild by Bullseye Glass. I have an interesting problem to solve.
I collect and sell mid century European and American ceramics. One of my favorite pieces is a 1950s Italian piece by Bitossi Ceramiche. The decor of the vase is called fritte, since glass has been added to the ceramic during firing. This is one of the earliest examples of fritte by Bitossi. The glass is rough, with uneven surfaces, bubbles and craquelle; that is part of its charm. Within each color square, the glass sometimes has mixtures of color and opacity. In one of the yellow squares, I believe a piece has cracked so completely as to have fallen out. This happened years ago and was crudely filled with painted plaster; I have removed that repair. I would be interested in having someone look at this vase and give an opinion on what it anything can be done to sensitively repair the glass. Luckily, the glass has so much variation, it makes it easier to match. My only idea so far would be to do a casting mold of the cavity and cast a piece of glass to fit, but I don’t know if that is possible. I would also be interested in working with someone to make the casting.
The vase is 14.5″ high and the cavity is 5/16″ in diameter. In the attached photo, the round cavity is at the center top of the right photo, in a yellow square.
Thanks so much for your time and consideration.

I received this request from Eric Freund and Jackie Young ericfreund01@gmail.com: “One of our prized plates was unfortunately broken beyond repair. We were wondering if we could work with you in creating a plate similar to the one we lost. ” I do not do sandblasted etching but was hoping someone in the guild might be interested in talking to them about this project….or may know a glass artist who is not in the guild but does this type of work. The design is two iris stems on a 16 inch clear plate….not just etched flat/matte but lightly carved and very well done. If the photo I have is too large to post here Eric can email you a photo directly. They are located in West Linn, OR. and his email is attached to this post. Thanks! -Greta Schneider

Deadline to submit: 12 pm on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2023
The Multnomah Arts Center (MAC) Gallery in Portland serves as an educational venue for the community and a supportive environment for artists to share their work. Artists who show here are residents of Oregon and southern Washington near Portland and are selected by a group jury process. Our exhibits reflect the artistic dynamism of the area, with an emphasis on the following: a wide spectrum of media is shown throughout the year; diverse subject matter is explored; unique perspectives are shared; multidisciplinary and intersectional approaches are appreciated.
The 2023 Call for Artists is now open. Emerging and experienced visual artists are invited to apply. During the jurying process, 2-D and 3-D artists are typically paired to exhibit together. Requests for solo or group shows are also welcome. Musicians, writers, filmmakers and other artists whose work would complement the visual arts exhibits may also submit proposals. More information and the link to the online application can be found at www.multnomahartscenter.org/gallery.
The application deadline is 12 pm on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2023. All submission materials will be reviewed by the group jury, and artists will be notified of the jury’s decisions by early February 2023. Exhibits will be scheduled between May 2023 – April 2024.

Seeking a memoriam piece

Greetings,
I have about a tablespoon of my father’s ashes I would like incorporated into a piece I can put on a window sill. I have seen from an artist that used to be located in Hood River what amounted to paperweights with a swirl of color and rolled in a loved one’s ashes. I was thinking of something like that. I would enjoy hearing about any ideas you might have.

Need help to identify the artist that created this art glass

Many years ago while on vacation I visited an art gallery near the Oregon coast and purchased this fascinating art glass. It measures 4” on each side however one side is angled. It is signed with an etching pen but I can’t make out the name as it is very small. I am hoping someone in your organization might recognize the piece and identify the artist. I rotate it every now and then to get a new interesting view. jdebess@flash.net

I need help with a repair.
The artist John Nutter in B.C. sent me a glass feather which broke in transit. It is a clean break. He says it is a simple fix with UV glue. One of you would know. Is there someone who would help me fix this piece? I’m in SE but would bring the piece. See below. It’s about 14″ long.
Hopefully

Studio Safety

Does anyone know of someone who can advise me on how to keep my home studio safe for myself and my family. I’m wondering how people clean the air in their studios. I’m specifically concerned about the particles left in the air from Thin Fire after firing fused glass. Are there professionals who can come to a studio to advise on important safeguards for home studios. I do fused glass and live in Portland. My phone # is: 503-421-5888. My email is farmrage1@msn.com
