Saturn plate
This large blown plate uses a Venetian glassmaking technique, incalmo, which involves joining multiple separately blown bubbles when hot. Combining three bubbles, six colours are carefully chosen for their aesthetic qualities and malleability, stretching to subtly bleed into one another. With this piece Stewart Hearn creates a pure and simple form and incorporates colour as integral decoration, portraying his love of the craft and the material.
