Product code: Ascent 2024 Houston Llew Spirtile
New in box 155 Ascent Houston Llew Spiritile. Purchased in St. John USVI. Has never been out of the box. HOUSTON LLEW SPIRITILE COLLECTION "I want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing as if I had wings." - Mary Oliver • 8.5 x 5.5 x 2" •Glass enamel on 2024 copper, formed around a wood core. •Every Spiritile is made painstakingly by hand in Houston Llew's studio in Atlanta, Georgia. The glass is applied to one side of the metal using stencils and relying on precise layering with hand sifters. The piece is only fired once. After firing, a pin is rolled over the enameled metal to form intentional crazing marks in the glass. Although it goes against the medium's traditional teachings, Houston says this technique creates increased light refraction, particularly in the transparent glass. •Spiritiles can be hung on the wall (they look especially impactful in groups), displayed freestanding, and even withstand high humidity, direct sun and covered outdoor environments.
