| A year ago, while visiting family in upstate New York, I got a chance to visit an extraordinary museum...The Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY. Their glass collection is extensive; seems endless and it is very easy to spend a day there from opening until closing. Well, I was particularly inspired by the glass prunts (similarly, hobnails are nail heads on shoe soles) decorating medieval glass. Probably not purely decorative back in the day, since the prunts allowed for better grip and less slip on the extremely thin glassware. Even though it is glass, the style, shapes and colors of all the pieces in that museum are incredible and can easily be applied to pottery. I will post more photos from the museum tomorrow. |
I love visiting museums and "stealing" ideas!
