Cracking


		One of the techniques I use most is cracking. It makes the glass dynamic, it is decorative and at the same time it gives the glass depth. I have learned the technique of cracking at two courses, with the length of a week, by the Canadian glass artist Bob Leatherbarrow.


		I have experimented a lot since the courses, and created new powerful expressions, as you can see in the following examples.


		Below, there are some close-up pictures of some of my new crazing techniques that I have discovered by experimentation. The results are by approximately 900 tries with different color combinations, several layers of glass, varying burning etc.
