Caithness Glass - Safari Elephants - Sandcast - Art Glass
For those of you who love wild animals and the romantic colours of the sunset the Safari Caithness Glass Sandcast offers a glimpse of Africa that is inspiring in all it's beauty. Handmade in Scotland by Caithness Glass, this is the perfect gift from Africa to give or to receive. A stunning piece for the home especially where it can catch the light. Crafting Method: The sandcasts are created using a sand base that has shapes pressed into it and then powdered glass colours dusted over the surface, using templates to keep the colours in certain areas of the design. Once the design is finished a metal frame is placed over the design and glass poured in. It is then put into the kiln to cool for 12 hours. Sunset colours of orange and red are dusted onto the sky, then the dense opaque orange of the sun is added and finally a fine layer of black defines the elephants' silhouette and the tree.
