This open glass piece is inspired by the organic shapes and textures of barnacles. Every piece made by Deanna Clayton enters an electro bath after a copper based paint is used on the glass. This results in organic copper growth on the rim of her work that is then soldered together. The perfect accent piece and touch of sea for any glass lover.
