vessel

By the 2000s, Zynsky had begun to change her palette and to soften some of her color contrasts with additions of gold, amber, and colorless threads. Throughout her career, she has enjoyed the teamwork necessary for most glassworking processes, yet her “filet de verre” technique also allows her to work alone on individual pieces. Exceptions to this are the very large forms, such as the Museum’s Maestrale, which was commissioned by Ben and Natalie Heineman in 2005. This vessel was so large that she needed extra assistants to help her get the piece in and out of the kiln during its firing cycle.
