Going off at a tangent pays
artistic dividends for
‘lampworker’ Liz.
See Liz DeLuca’s skill and the beauty of her glasswork – she is a
guest artist at the Craft & Quilt Fair in 2011.
Liz DeLuca is a specialist teacher in the visual arts with a degree
in ceramics who, until eight years ago, spent her working life
teaching youngsters art and craft. Then fate took a hand as, after
a year’s sabbatical, her focus suddenly changed from teaching art
to ‘creating’ it, and from ceramics to glass; and – in particular – to
making handmade glass beads by means of the ancient art form
of ‘lampworking’, which has its origins as far back as the first
century BCE in Syria. It all came from her chance introduction to
‘flamework’, as lampwork is often called today.
“It just went from there,” says Liz, “and all those visual arts skills
instilled in me over 20 or 30 years were just transferred to another
medium. It’s not hard to jump,” she adds. “I was absolutely
gobsmacked at how easy it was to leave that life behind.”
Liz’s new endeavour has taken her to new creative heights and
she revels in the enjoyment she derives from it. “You can call me
a ‘glass-junkie’!” she laughs. “It’s really about the colour, and the
transparency – and the translucency! It’s all those qualities and
properties about glass that draw you in.” She uses Italian, German
and Czech glass, each renowned for its particular property and
special characteristics, to make her beads.
October 19 – 23, 2011
35
Make sure you
check out Liz’s
demonstrations
for yourself at the
Craft & Quilt Fair –
you’ll be amazed
at the delicacy
and colours of her
handmade beads.
Lampworking – nowadays –
uses a gas-fuelled torch to melt
rods and tubes of clear and
coloured glass which, once in a
molten state, is then formed by
blowing on it and shaping it with
tools and hand movements.
“To take such an ancient art
form and give it a twist – and
a kick into the 21st century –
is such a buzz,” she exclaims.
“There are also some very
talented people involved in it
and I feel I’m representing
them all, and bringing them
some attention.”
