What gives glass its rich burgundy hue? How do different metal oxides create a spectrum of colors? And how do bubbles, thickness and surface treatments influence the final appearance of a glass artwork?是什么赋予了玻璃浓郁的酒红色调?不同的金属氧化物如何创造出五彩斑斓的色彩光谱?气泡、玻璃厚度以及表面处理又会如何影响玻璃艺术品的最终呈现效果?
These questions are explored in Molten Light, Crystalized Form – An Artistic Narrative of Cast Glass, an exhibition on the 2nd floor of the Liuli China Museum. Visitors can discover the differences between ordinary glass, colored glass, crystal and liuli, China’s ancient glass, while learning about the science and craftsmanship behind these fascinating materials.琉璃中国博物馆二楼的展览《熔光晶形——失蜡琉璃的艺术叙事》对这些问题进行了深入探讨。参观者可以了解普通玻璃、彩色玻璃、水晶以及中国古法琉璃的区别,同时学习这些迷人材料背后的科学原理与制作工艺。

The exhibition is divided into two sections. The first section introduces the 12 stages of lost-wax casting, the traditional technique used to create liuli artworks. Alongside illustrated explanations, each stage is paired with the corresponding materials, such as modeling clay and silicone molds, and tools, including carving knives, wax-melting pots and mineral powders.本次展览分为两个展区。第一展区介绍了制作琉璃艺术品的传统工艺——失蜡铸造的12个步骤。展区配有图文讲解,每个步骤都搭配了对应的材料与工具介绍,材料包括造型黏土、硅胶模具等,工具则涵盖了雕刻刀、融蜡锅、矿物粉等。
At the center of this section, a demonstration table uses a liuli horse to illustrate the entire process, from sculpting the original model in clay and creating multilayer silicone molds to wax casting, plaster molding, glass casting, and the final detailing and polishing. The display offers an insight into the complex process behind each finished artwork.本节的核心是一张演示表格,它以琉璃马为例,完整展示了从用黏土雕刻原始模型、制作多层硅胶模具,到蜡模铸造、石膏成型、琉璃浇铸,以及最终的细节处理和抛光的全过程。这一展示能让人深入了解每件成品艺术品背后复杂的制作工艺。
The second section features a group exhibition of liuli artworks by dozens of artists from France, the Czech Republic and China. Highlights include works by renowned French glass artist Antoine Leperlier, Czech glass artists Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, British artist Colin Reid, and Yang Huishan, founder of the Liuli China Museum. Their creations showcase the expressive possibilities of glass, transforming light, color and texture into distinctive works of art.第二单元呈现一场来自法国、捷克共和国和中国数十位艺术家的琉璃艺术联展。亮点包括法国著名玻璃艺术家安托万·勒佩尔利耶、捷克玻璃艺术家斯坦尼斯拉夫·利本斯基与雅罗斯拉娃·布里奇托娃、英国艺术家科林·里德,以及琉璃中国博物馆创始人杨惠姗的作品。这些作品展现了玻璃的表现可能性,将光、色彩与质感转化为独具特色的艺术作品。
