Summary/Abstract: In the summer, the Glass and Ceramics Gallery in Wroc³aw was filled with Jerzy Chodurski’s glass angels. They were ‘freed’ from wooden boxes, where Professor Chodurski kept them, and we could enjoy their brightness. Chodurski is considered as the pioneer of glass fusing technique. Also, he is a master of ‘slumping glass’ technique, and ‘pate de verre’. Angels belong to his newest series. The angels contain many different glass elements, which were matted, frozen, and covered with glazes. He uses pieces of plate glass. Sometimes he fires the pieces, and sometimes uses glue to put them together. He likes different textural effects. The exhibition also included his earlier work, for example ‘A Feather Dame’ (for that glass picture, the artist received a certificate of merit from the Corning Museum of Glass).
