CAST GLASS JEWELRY

My formal studies were in the metal and jewelry department, at Bezalel Art Academy, Jerusalem. Over the years, glass has become the major field I work in.

​

When I create cast jewelry, I'm reminded of two old loves:  jewelry and archeology. There is something about the casting process that reminds me of an archeologist uncovering human history.

​

In the casting technique, a piece is created and then concealed in a mold. It is seen again only after the firing process, when the mold is carefully broken open, to reveal the final (and not entirely predictable) work.

​

My cast jewelry is profoundly inspired by prehistoric fertility figurines; yet each glass piece acquires its own new and unique personality.
