Incidental Bird Fact:
The colors in the feathers of a bird are formed in two ways: a) from light refraction caused by the structure of the feather, or b) from pigments.

- All art work is handmade by Robert Wiener in the DC Art Glass Studio. Kilnforming is a method of shaping glass in a kiln using heat and gravity. Techniques used by the artist include fusing, slumping, casting, printmaking and coldworking. It is common of kilnformed glass to have slight color shifts and small "champagne" bubbles.
