Fenton Art Glass Presents Studio Fenton and "Lava Flow"

(Williamstown, WV, April 18, 2008).  The 2008 Studio Fenton Collection from Fenton Art Glass showcases the skills and talents of their glassworkers and artists. Included in this year’s
Collection is the magnificent “Lava Flow” vase. This vase will surely start people talking when
displayed in your home!

Glass artisan Frank Workman continues to awe visitors at Fenton Art Glass. For  “Lava Flow,” he rolls a gather of lustrous black glass in crushed orange glass called frit and then works the color into the surface before covering it with pure crystal. The result is a vivid mixture of light and dark orange tones set against the black background ... all of which does indeed remind one of the awesome flow associated with molten lava. Frank's skill is evident as he completes the work by deftly shaping the topmost
area into graceful curves.

Item 8620 B5 “Lava Flow” 11-3/4" Vase,
limited to 450 pieces, retails $295 U.S.
