This bottle, 'Black/White/Topaz Sentinel', is made from fused tiles cut from sheets of Bullseye glass from Portland, Orgeon, formed into a cylinder shape using the 'roll-up' method with gaffers Scott Chaseling and Tom Rowney and a team of eight students in the Canberra School of Art glass workshop. The form was made under the direction of the artist Jane Bruce, who later hand cold-worked it by wheel-cutting and hand-sanding with 220 and 440 mesh grit and 'wet and dry' sandpaper, before waxing it with wax oil medium.History
