archiemcphee:Today the Department of Miniature Marvels is exploring the extraordinary work of glass artist Kiva Ford, who uses his background in scientific glassblowing to create astonishingly small beakers, laboratory flasks, cylinders, wine glasses, vases and more. Some of Ford’s miniature glassware is barely an inch tall and contains even smaller glass objects.“A member of the American Scientific Glassblowers Society, Kiva creates instruments for scientists who require one-of-a-kind designs for various experiments. The same techniques and tools used for scientific equipment also apply to his artistic practice including the miniature works you see here, as well as larger sculptures, and ornate drinkware.”Visit Kiva Ford’s website or Instagram feed to check out many more images of his marvelous hand-blown glass miniatures, some of which are available for purchase via his Etsy shop.[via Colossal] -- source link
