Miniature glass sculptures are created by glass blower from the USA Kiva Ford. He began by creating miniature cones for experimentation and gradually moved on to more sophisticated vessels.

The products that the master blows are miniature bottles and glasses, flower vases and cones for chemical experiments. They are distinguished by bright colors, graceful shapes, uncomplicated details. His glassware looks especially beautiful in sets.

Kiva Ford uses the most common glass in his work. But the processing technique is specific. The glassblower resorts to special mixtures and compositions that allow to achieve beautiful curves during grinding.

During firing, an American exposes the glass to the highest temperatures of a blue flame.

Kiva Ford uses dyes as a decor. Therefore, his vases, glasses and bottles are bright yellow, green and red. Sometimes he inserts objects inside. For example, in one of the glass vessels a glassblower placed a fake heart as a symbol of life.

Kiva Ford creates his miniature works in his spare time. He often does not share where the performance of professional duties, and where - creativity. As the master himself declares, he creates at work.
