Hefe Glass: Raleigh’s Local Heady Glass Artist
Hefe is a borosilicate glass artist from Raleigh, NC. His specialty is gold and silver fume. This is a method of creating color on the surface of glass by fuming precious metals using the flame to ionize the gold or silver. This is the method for making color changing glass. As you smoke from the piece, the black resin that fills inside the walls of the pipe create the dark background required to view all the colors the fuming creates. The color will change from hazy yellow to an entire spectrum of red, green and blue. These vivid colors can only be seen on that dark background.
