About the Artist
Sol Mesz

Sillice
Background:
I was trained by renowned Argentine glass and vitraux artist Carlos Herzberg in different glass working techniques, including pâte de verre, vitraux, slumped and fused glass, mold making and sand casting.An outstanding aspect of my work is that I make my own colors for glass, using the same techniques and processes that were used five hundred years ago and that are still preserved in cathedrals. Today, these techniques are almost lost and I feel proud to be able to honor such old practices. At the same time, making my own colors for glass has allowed me to achieve a unique and infinite palette of textures and colors. As a result, I do not use any industrially colored glass, and I have greater freedom to experiment and use materials in innovative ways. One of them is my ability to recycle glass. Since glass does not lose its quality when reprocessed, I can turn transparent sheets of glass into unique pieces of art which are also environmentally friendly.

Artist Statement:
"Painting alternately in the front and the back of a piece of glass to achieve different luminous effects has been done for many centuries, and artists would formulate their stains according to the effect sought. With the advent of mass production they specialized in either making the pigments or designing the work; and many artists gradually lost contact with an important part of their craft. As a result, some of the ancient practices were lost. Among them, the art and science of making glass stains. I decorate my pieces using colors for glass that I make myself, from naturally occurring substances, just like it was done centuries ago. As a result, I do not use any commercially available colored glass. When making colors for glass I feel like going back in time, when art and technique were integral. It is inspiring to revive old methods and ancient practices, while at the same time applying them to contemporary designs. It is like paying tribute to the past while looking into the future. "

Technique:
Each piece begins with a design that is sketched in a notebook. I then take out a sheet of glass, mark it to the size I need and cut it. I then decide the color combination by using samples of the colors I have made. I need to use these samples, which have been already fired, because most of the colors in their raw state have a grayish color, even the deepest blue will look gray before it is fired. The colors will reveal its true personality during the firing process.When the piece is dry, it goes to the kiln (which I sometimes call the oven) and it cooks there for 12 hours, usually overnight. Glass is very sensitive to temperature, so it has to heat up slowly until it reaches its critical temperature point, called strain release or break point. This will make sure that all glass is heated evenly. Past this point, the temperature can climb up faster, until the peak temperature is reached, which is around 1500 F. After that, the kiln will start the cooling down process.
