Glass working

Glass fusing

Glass slumping

800 degrees

different type of glass sctructures - wavy and straight
(not compatible) -> made bubbles and break in the kiln

experiment with layering and middle gap
-> partly melt together, however created few holes

experiment with layering and middle gap
-> partly melt together, however created few holes

layering - first coloured glasses and clear glass on top -> nicely melted together

glass did not connect

piece of mirrors on glass - most dropped out

combination of mirror and two different types of glass with gaps between each other..
Later cause some chemical reaction and purple glass changed

Glass colouring

mirror

clear glass

acrylic glass

shape

colored glass

how to count right amount of glass in the mold:

Into empty and dry mold pour glass sand to fulfil the mold, then we pour out the sand and measure the volume. This volume we multiply by glass density (2,5) and the result is the mass of glass we have to put into the mold.


example: 
The sand mass that fulfil the mold is 4,8 l.

4,8 x 2,5 = 12kg glass
