Glass Jewelry: Recent Works
 |
| working glass at the torch |
Porfolio Update: I have recently moved from using soda-lime "soft" glass to focus on borosilicate, a "harder" glass. Many of my pieces develop out of the experimental exploration of the unique qualities of each type of glass. Borosilicate glass is stronger, and thus opens up possibilities for glass itself as a structural, rather than merely decorative element in jewelry. (September 10th, 2006)
Kait Schott: Initial portfolio and information external link
Many of my pieces developed out of the experimental exploration of the unique qualities of glass and the technical challenges of trying to replicate traditional techniques from all types of glass work. I also draw on images from the expansive history of jewelry and personal adornment around the world, both to develop new ideas and to refine my experiments into practical wearable jewelry. I have a more formal education in metalsmithing and spent four and a half years as a production goldsmith. While people often find my pieces suggestive of various natural and man-made forms, I enjoy keeping them semi-abstract so that each wearer can discover their own associations. I see myself as a jeweler as well as an artist, and strive to create pieces which are comfortable, sturdy, and both visually and tactilely appealing to the wearer.
