Pâte-de-verre

WOW! THIS IS A FANTASTIC WORK.

Nice lost wax CASTING of glass. But this is NOT Pâte-de-verre.

Air five yo, I was just about to mention: Gorgeous sculpture, but pate (de) verre is quite literally 'paste (of) glass', which involves pressing or painting ground glass into the mold. This is lost wax/cast glass.

Incredible and inspiring! I'm taking a class that teaches this and we're casting next month!

This is Not pate de verré. It is just Lost wax.

If you read the description little genius: "Pâte-de-verre is one of many techniques used in creating Liuli art. The process involves casting a wax sculpture in plaster, melting out that wax and adding glass ingredients to the leftover negative space. The advantage of this technique is the potential for incredible detail. Experimentation in pâte-de-verre is constantly expanding the creative realm of Liuli."

Anyone know how to clean a daum patte de verra piece?

@@anne-helenedlr1763 You are still describing the lost wax technique. I have found this exact same video where they put "lost wax" in brackets behind "pâte de verre". I kind of suspect this has been an example of things being lost in translation; the Chinese have started calling the lost wax technique pâte de verre for some reason. I have not seen a single step in this video which suggests they actually use pâte de verre. No frit, no powder, no binding agents. Maybe they have omitted these steps from the video, otherwise this is just the lost wax technique. Quite beautiful none the less!
