Platters Designed by Nevise and Olivia Said of Mdina Glass
- Malta This is a very time consuming and technically
difficult process due to the fact that each component shape used in the construction of the picture is a piece of glass which
has been separately cut by Olivia from glass coloured with glass enamels. The component shapes are taken from a fine art print
of a famous artist's painting. They are then cut out and trimmed until they fit together. This part requires some
of the greatest care and skill and takes two people 2 to 3 days to complete. They are then placed on a sheet of flat glass
to complete the design. The completed pictue is placed over a dished ceramic mould and carefully heated in a furnace allowing
the pieces to fuse to the sheet. This final part of the process is the most critical since it is planned that the pieces
fuse to the glass sheet before it slumps into the mould. Sometimes they do not and if the parts slide out of place the whole
piece has to be rejected and destroyed.
