Carol Milne is an internationally recognized [2][3][4] Canadian sculptor[5] living in Seattle, Washington. She is best known for her Knitted Glass work,[6] winning the Silver Award, in the International Exhibition of Glass Kanazawa Japan 2010.[7]
Career
Milne graduated in 1985 from the University of Guelph Ontario, in Landscape Architecture.
After a short stint at a landscape architect's office, Milne worked at a pre-press graphics shop managing a small group of digital typesetters. In 1988-89 she was a graduate student in the University of Iowa's MFA program in sculpture.
Licton Springs Park
1993 – 1996, Milne re-designed the Licton Springs, Seattle Playground in Seattle,[8] Washington. Working with ceramicist Lisa Halverson, and community volunteers, they worked with local school children to make urban wildlife tiles that were incorporated into the park design.
Since 2000, Milne works primarily in glass, although knitting also plays a major part in her non-glass sculptures. See, for example, “Grow Lights”.[9][10]
Knitted Glass
In 2006, Milne created “Knitted Glass”, incorporating the techniques of Knitting, lost-wax casting, mold-making, and kiln-casting. As Milne describes in, “Knitting wasn't yet cool...”:[11] The process involves (A) knitting the original art piece using wax strands, (B) surrounding the wax with a heat-tolerant refractory material, (C ) then removing the wax by melting it out, thus creating a mold; (D) the mold is placed in a kiln where lead crystal “frit” heated to 1,530 Fahrenheit melts into the mold; (E) after the mold has cooled, the mold material is removed to reveal the finished piece within.
