A Melody to Cornish Tin

This is a composition of three cast-glass architectural forms in soft blue, pink and lavender hues. The addition of foaming agents and tin oxide aerates and opacifies the glass, giving it a foam-like and mottled appearance. Originally made for a project with the Worshipful Company of Tin Plate Workers, this composition celebrates the tin mining heritage and post-industrial landscapes of Cornwall’s ex-mining communities.
