The Artist - Alois Hammer

1995 I got in touch with the technique of Tiffany fort he first time, in theorie and practice. The fascination oft he colours of glass, the curiosity and urge to discover ne wand biger dimensionns had developed fromm y favorite hobby to my actual profession. Glass, a very delicate, beautiful, but fragile product offers a wide range of working techniques. One is called „Fusing“, which means melting and bending of glass.

The most important and interesting assignements have been: 

• The Stations oft he Cross at the forest cemetery of Bad Erlach: open tot he public the whole year, illuminated when dark.
  
• Five windows in the little church of Salvatorians in Brunn (district of Bad Erlach)
  
• The Garden Eden, a front of glass, 5 meters wide and 2,8 meters tall, in Weinviertel (north of Vienna)
  
• The Sun, indirect illumination – atmosphere in the room; 5,6 meters wide and 75 centimeters tall, can beseen in my studio.
