Glass
Faucet
Glass
Faucets and Bowls - St. Louis, MO USA
For 20 years, James McKelvey has worked to
capture the magic of glass in his art. As chairman of the
world's largest gathering of glass artists in 2006, he strove to
surprise and challenge other artists with his innovative glass
faucets. Demand for the faucets proved so strong that McKelvey
and a team of artists and engineers spent the next nine months
perfecting his design. Creating functional art is a great
challenge for an artist/engineer. Each of McKelvey's faucets is
shaped by hand from a tube of molten glass. For every four
attempts, only one faucet is accepted. It is then cut, polished,
tempered, and assembled using materials so pure that the FDA
approves them for implantation into the body. This patented
design is like nothing else in the world.
