PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This work was produced with advanced hot glass blowing and shaping techniques. During production, the colors obtained from colored glasses are used professionally and provide a homogeneous appearance on the form. In addition, the glass balls on the form were glued at a temperature of approximately 1000 ° C using the hot sealing technique. Then the glass was annealed from high temperatures to room temperature and reduced. As a final process, cold working has been applied to their soles. It is made by the artist-designer himself.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Hydria form series average dimensions width: 15cm depth: 15 cm height: 25 cm A series of approximately 5 different sized pieces. Since it is glass material, packaging is very important. A thick and hard styrofoam nest should be created in a hard box and fixed using bubble wrap.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The Hydria Series is the first professionally usable set of artworks designed and produced by the artist for a special exhibition collection. Different sources have been researched on Greek mythology, which is the starting point of the study. Later, with the help of these resources, sketches were made by going to form research and the first hot glass blowing and shaping trials of production started in 2016.
CHALLENGE: The Hydria Form Series is inspired by the ceramic large water containers used in Ancient Greece.The most difficult technical process in the emergence of this design was to produce the form, which was ceramic in ancient Greek times and which was blended with a contemporary interpretation and made new sketches, using glass material.
