Years ago, I walked out of a used book store with the book Point Engraving on Glass. Most likely it was the nature-themed cover that drew me to the book. The author, unknown to me, had an engaging writing style as he described the evolution of glass engraving and highlighted various masters of the craft. I read it, enjoyed it, and put it away to gather dust. But it was not until this week, in a roundabout way, that I realized the author, Laurence Whistler, was a master craftsman himself. Following is a youtube video of the glass prism memorial he created for his brother, the artist Rex Whistler. I hope you have a chance to view — with sound — from beginning to end. And here’s a link to my continuing experiments photographing a shard of glass. Enjoy.
Thanks so much for sharing. The video is absolutely STUNNING!
you’re welcome 😉
