Breaking the Mould (BTM) is an open-ended research project led by AUT with a focus on experimental approaches to the traditions of glass making in Venice, Italy. Rebecca was invited to join phase two of the project, BTM02, to research the possibility of using fabrics to create contemporary textural patterns in glass. Silica fabric and ceramic yarns were embroidered, laser-cut, stitched and layered to create a series of inspiring and resilient textile moulds used to transfer patterns onto the glass during the blowing process.
