Making pieces with murrini techniqueWhen we visited ”Glass Studio Silica” in Ibaraki, Fujiko Enami was coincidentally invited as the guest artist. We heard that she had a studio in Kanagawa where she worked with another glasswork artist, Ushio Konishi, prompting this interview. |
Konishi makes laced glassUshio Konishi trained at various glass companies in Japan and abroad. After returning from the US, he opened Ushio Studio. ”The location of the studio (on the Miura Peninsula) is close to the sea so I sometimes go diving after work.” What an enviable work environment! |
Even Nakata’s arms became sore!?Nakata tried making a lace glass cup. First he made the glass rod that is the basic material. He combined molten glass rods in seven colors. Two people are needed to pull out the ends of two rods attached to a lump of glass. |
