Madeleine Hughes with her winning piece, ‘Cornucopia’. Maddy constructed the piece by blowing coloured rondels in three colours to use as sheet glass, which she cut up to create a double-layered patterned mosaic slab. This was heated up, rolled onto a pipe, encased in clear glass and blown into a cone shape. Finally, a diamond wheel on a lathe was used to cut the Battuto lenses covering the outer surface.
