A little background: The Sommerso technique involves creating successive layers of perfectly transparent glass in different colors, which appear to be enclosed within one another without any mixing. The result is a highly pure, layered effect of color, giving depth, contrast, and an almost liquid appearance to the object. The technique consists of a first core of colored glass that is blown or molded. This still-hot core is then immersed in a mass of clear glass, which completely envelops it. The whole thing is then blown, sculpted, or shaped to obtain the final form. Each layer remains perfectly distinct, as if floating within another layer of glass.
