The original idea for the center-piece was to use the bottoms of wine bottles in between the bamboos (sketch). There were only 10 days left to finish this Installation and the budget was getting dry.
How is it possible to drill holes through thick glass? Will it be save (Wind!)? Will it look nice at the end?
We did tests cutting bottles... it looked too rough and the edges were razor-sharp.
So we decided to get stained - glass from a Glass-Studio "Espace-Verre" in Montreal.
