Q: What types of glass do you use the most?

MACNEIL: PLATE GLASS. Plate glass is the type of medium I use the most because as an artist I like to be in control of both form and color and because the forms I make are precise. I use both vintage and contemporary plate glass. Today’s industrial plate glass has great clarity and comes in reliable measurements and vintage plate glass comes in different thicknesses and in unusual, opaque colors, both are great for use in my designs. I use them in combination with each other as well as independently.
