John Kenneth Clark - In Progress

On the same pieces of glass, I have made some tests working from the full scale drawings.

This picture shows a few samples of the glass. What I have done here, is to test each of the colours to see how long they need to be immersed in the acid to etch to white.

The numbers written on the glass are minutes. This gives me a good guid to the various stages that I will later need to create the work.

Foil being applied to the glass.

After the glass has been cut, it was prepared for etching. In this case, transparent plastic foil has been applied to both sides.

As can be seen in the design, the shapes are all rectangles so the cutting happened very quickly.

Tis shows the templates lying on the light table and some sheets of the glass next to them.

The templates are then positioned on the glass for cutting.
