The collection "Stringers" is a fascinating fusion of black and white glass threads (stringers) created using the innovative Roll-Up technique. The glass threads are carefully arranged on a plate and then gently heated to finally roll them up onto the glassblower's pipe - a process known as Roll-Up. This technique offers a wide range of creative possibilities.

By using different colors of glass threads with varying melting points, mesmerizing effects are achieved, where the black and white threads shift in a unique way, creating a beautiful bark-like texture. This imparts a special aesthetic touch to the objects. Like in her textile developments, Annette Douglas is also keen on exploring new techniques and new looks in her glass works.

As an additional refinement, the objects are finally engraved with a bark-like texture on the lower part using an engraving machine, further highlighting the uniqueness and sophistication of the collection "Stringers".
