Weaving Glass

| 3 Comments
In my day job, I spend some of my time keeping up on what is going on in the scientific world.  It's rare that I come across anything that I feel is interesting in both my worlds, but this video crosses the boundary nicely.  This link comes from The Scientist (I would post the original direct link, but I think it requires registration and doesn't provide much additional information beyond what you see in the video) showing the woven glass art of Eric Markow (a chemical engineer) and Thom Morris (a biologist).



I think their work is both beautiful and inspiring no matter whether you weave or not, but is particularly neat for anyone who likes to see a traditional fiber art translated into another medium.  And the day after my weaving class, I always have weaving on the brain, so I just couldn't resist sharing this lovely colorful work on a cloudy grey Chicago day.

Happy Weekend, All!

Thanks for your posts on weaving. I took weaving in art school, I found it meditative and extremely enjoyable. Reading about your adventures along with my new found desire for all things linen makes me want to grab a friend and take a class just so I can make linen towels.

Very cool. There is a local glass studio that has short classes and workshops that I've been dying to try for ages. It's wonderful to see glass in other unexpected places!

Being a basket weaver I have seen their work.

Very interesting work.
