Peter Furlonger
Music for a While
Double Overlay Footed Bowl

“Music for a while

Shall all your cares beguile.

Wond'ring how your pains were eas'd
And disdaining to be pleas'd
Till Alecto free the dead
From their eternal bands,
Till the snakes drop from her head,
And the whip from out her hands.

Music for a while
Shall all your cares beguile.”

The text is part of a longer musical interlude in act 3, scene 1 of Oedipus, John Dryden

Please note that due to the fragile nature of this work, collection is preferred over shipping.

The art of calligraphy is transformed into a dynamic abstract form when Peter Furlonger applies it to sculptural glass. His exceptional work involves engraving textured lettering onto three-dimensional glass using a sand-blasting technique.

Work by Furlonger is widely collected and is held in the Victoria & Albert Museum, the National Museum of Scotland, Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens, and North Lands Creative Glass, Caithness and by the British Glass Foundation.
