Paperweights and Glass Artwork of HeinerDüsterhaus

Gold and platinum are precious metals and have been used and combined with crystal already in the early days of glassmaking. Both metals are being used by me and are fused with and in the glass. It is also my  MY INDIVIDUALITY  my personal individuality  that I am using exclusively float-glass. Thus, my Paperweights , plates, bowls, and vases are created by several layers of glass. They are painted by hand and then fused together at a temperature of 800 degrees Celsius. Each plate is unique! ThePaperweights are manufactured as in series, but everyone is also hand-painted and, therefore, for me also unique! When forming the plates and bowls the float-glass sheets are placed in ceramic moulds. At an approximate temperature of 700 degrees Celsius the sheets are transformed into a bowl or a plate. Find out more about my techniques in the chapter " INDIVIDUALITY "
