Chemical hand mirroring by Mathilde Maton

First stage of this project was an introduction of the glass blowing craft. I was abble to start experiencing the material and the possibilities it offers.
Together with Marc Barreda, we worked on shapes that would tell the story of this project.
Meanwhile, developed my mirroring solution, which is a mix of silver nitrate, ammoniac, dextrose and caustic soda.
The shape of these vessels come from a memory I have eating with my grandmother. She had old silver cutlery and plates, and I remember spending the whole dinner trying to look at my reflection in these weird shapes.
This project aims to recreate this feeling I had.
