NEWY FAGAN

With her manipulated horse series, Newy has pioneered the rediscovery of the most ancient glass process in the contemporary kiln formed glass movement!

Each kiln formed glass horse requires fusing at temperatures exceeding 1450 degrees. At a full fuse, the different layers of compatible glass which form the design melt into one thickness. While wearing heavy latex gloves, Newy must remove the heated shelf containing the flat horse, and in under 30 seconds, lift out two legs with a spatula. The horse is then quickly shaped, set upright and transferred into a second kiln for annealing, which is controlled cooling of glass to relieve stress.

The series began in 1987. Each horse is signed and numbered.
