Since the exhibition was entirely outdoors, I designed for outdoor
durability and for imagery and colors that would stand out against a
busy and colorful garden background. One of my projects, I knew, would be a glass instrument for visitors to play.<br />
<br />
In this post I
describe my approach to creating a musical instrument made with fused
glass. I had long ago noticed that a hanging panel of fused glass could
make a pleasing sound when tapped (or hummed to). During the DoonArt
Open Studios Tour in July 2017, I demonstrated and discussed this with
Martin Gaskell, an astrophysicist who is also keenly interested in all
things musical. We talked about the possibility of making fused art
glass panels that would be in tune, musically speaking. We made some
sound recordings and later in the summer, Martin taught me how to use
free software called Audacity to analyze the frequency spectra produced
by my art glass panels. This allowed me to begin testing, first with
plate glass (cheaper), and next with fused art glass, to determine
empirically if the laws of physics that govern acoustics function
predictably in my art glass world (they do). Specifically, I was
interested in finding the relationship between the size of a square
piece of glass and the resonant frequencies (musical notes) it produces.<br />
<br />
As I learned while auditing Martin's class on Physics and Psychophysics of Music at UCSC during Winter quarter 2018,<span style="background-color: white;">
for a square plate, frequency is inversely proportional to the
area of the square. Frequency is also proportional to the thickness of
the plate</span>. Thus a tiny change in thickness will have a greater
effect on the pitch than the same tiny change in the length of the side
of a square. A simple way to put this is as follows,
where f = frequency, L = length of a side of the square and b =
thickness.<br /> <br />

And, for plates of the same L, a thinner plate will have lower Hz than a thicker plate. The latter makes sense if you understand that stiffness is a factor in sound generation; a thicker plate has less flexibility and therefore, higher pitch. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Back to practicalities: it is easier to cut glass in squares of different sizes (L) than to grind identical squares to very slightly differing thicknesses (b). I prepared some test panels and graphed the inverse square root of the frequency </span><span style="background-color: white;">(1/√f) vs. length (L) of my test panels in Excel. I used the slope of the resulting line to calculate the L needed to obtain a desired frequency. This would be very predictive if the glass was all the same thickness, as with plate glass.</span></p><p>Unfortunately, I discovered that the art glass I am using varies considerably in thickness, not only from sheet to sheet, but also within one sheet! Thus I had to settle for cutting the glass close to the correct size and using a diamond coated lapping wheel to grind the edges of the fused panels until they were in tune, as shown below.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNuZekllr2fkds2P73XkuD7EVQt-3Ao1DcHRb3yNoowSd68aTUmwRvMCdsxwApHHDvevn0Xa6XD3t_Pa6EP8F-obGneH5RuyAy6PlJt33jM_Y82o_Be2N8iyWQeoYkxgiBeQHrHoCcTB4/s1721/April+grinding+A220+cropped.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1667" data-original-width="1721" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNuZekllr2fkds2P73XkuD7EVQt-3Ao1DcHRb3yNoowSd68aTUmwRvMCdsxwApHHDvevn0Xa6XD3t_Pa6EP8F-obGneH5RuyAy6PlJt33jM_Y82o_Be2N8iyWQeoYkxgiBeQHrHoCcTB4/s320/April+grinding+A220+cropped.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>This works fine if the pitch is a bit flat, so I erred on the side of too large rather than too small - it's not possible to add a tiny bit of glass if the pitch is sharp! Due to the variation in thickness mentioned above, some panels ended up as much as 13 Hz below the desired pitch. This can take hours to correct by grinding, since I needed to stop and check the pitch frequently so as not to remove too much glass. Sometimes I was lucky, and the actual pitch was very close or identical to the pitch predicted by my graph.</p><p>Here's a short video of the square plate glass test series:</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dx7nTvts5kpHhi3sPdl7In04qQPAQnsHpzGDCMuZ9n8Shov_yZNcUmcEZV94UeF48veiKsPUBljAIgp7bODCA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><br />And a short video of my fused art glass test series:<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyuF1-yt78aRTR4kikT2RnsuUep0DR83MfhSPiTZ3PFX1hLRm2V2UyzAcXLn--CWi6_P1mqa8-HvNLGGrCBJw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Here's the finished octave, tuned to the key of A major (equal-tempered scale), installed at Filoli.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio2wIWu4a5ZANbS5MA6f55wCB2mXZEsMF38Ly4HvhMJqAW5uJGIrnix1vb0Efag-pawC792eC9ya83NWB9Urb5n7oWS02K5nODHxamc-4c4HfvitTTf2owIDj-KVaaDBFpq7hSmMZRVTM/s1280/Glass+Bell+Plates+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio2wIWu4a5ZANbS5MA6f55wCB2mXZEsMF38Ly4HvhMJqAW5uJGIrnix1vb0Efag-pawC792eC9ya83NWB9Urb5n7oWS02K5nODHxamc-4c4HfvitTTf2owIDj-KVaaDBFpq7hSmMZRVTM/w400-h300/Glass+Bell+Plates+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div>Aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16176198360805018418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784333214745282245.post-34602920725827384382017-11-12T17:23:00.001-08:002017-11-12T17:23:59.552-08:00Local Craft Fairs I'll be in this Fall<h3>

Sat-Sun Dec. 20-21, 10 am - 5 pm</h3>
Check out the KPFA Crafts Fair in a new East Bay location with plenty of free parking! I'm making new candle screen designs and new recycled glass earrings for this show along with the usual favorites. Some great musicians will be playing at this fair, well worth the price of admission: <a href="https://www.kpfa.org/craftsfair/entertainment.html" target="_blank">KPFA Crafts Fair entertainment</a>. My booth is situated in front of a glass wall facing west over the Bay so I expect my artwork will be looking good in the natural light!<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Last June I
went to visit my sister's family in Denver, during the record-setting heat wave
(remember that? 105 F?!). I am a glass artist, interested in plant
biology, and volunteer weekly at the Arboretum at UC Santa Cruz. Naturally,
I had to see the Denver Botanic Gardens in summer, no matter how hot;
fortunately, my sister lives within walking distance. I made two or three
trips there with art materials, hat, sunscreen, water bottle, and long-sleeved
shirt, making good use of the reciprocal membership benefit with my home
Arboretum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> I was
seeking inspiration for an ongoing series of tree portraits in fused metal and
glass, also hoping to identify some alpine plants we saw on a hike up to
Devil's Thumb, and generally admiring the native plant collections. On my
last visit, I settled down on a rock in the shade, gazing towards a graceful
and multi-trunked specimen of Pinus bungeana (also called Lacebark Pine) from
China, in June's Plantasia. Fully absorbed, I was drawing the tree's
delicate branches with a brown marker on a sheet of bright copper foil, when
one of several summer children's groups visiting the Gardens came walking along
the trail.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> One girl sat
right down next to me and asked what I was doing. I explained I was
drawing the tree in front of us on copper foil. Later, I would cut out
the "positive" tree shape very carefully with a sharp blade, and
place it between two layers of transparent colored glass. This metal and
glass sandwich would be fused in my kiln at 1550 F to make a 1/4-inch thick
glass panel. The remaining piece of copper foil would also be used to
make a panel. A "negative" image would be formed by the space
where the metal had been cut out, and light would come through that opening in
the shape of the tree.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> I said that the
positive image of the tree is called the "figure", and the background
around the figure is called the "ground". It's not the earth
the tree is rooted in; it's a way of seeing the shapes of the spaces
surrounding the tree, which we often don't notice. She asked me "is
the positive image like Life, and the negative image like Death?" I
thought this was a profound connection for a young person to make. As I
reflect on it now, presence and absence, substance and spirit, the duality that
seems to be a given of human experience; all these concepts are evoked by her
remark. By the time we had finished our conversation the whole group was
listening and learning - and not just from the artist. This girl had the courage
to ask questions of a complete stranger and to put her ideas before an
audience. I'm still moved whenever I think about it.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
