 |
The rough glass edges are ground smooth using a diamond dust wheel suspended in water (to capture silicon dust).
Some glass is then hand-painted and kiln-fired for special textural surface effects. |
 |
Each glass piece is wrapped with copperfoil, a metallic tape with an adhesive backing, which sticks to the glass. |
 |
The pattern is fully laid out and soldered - the solder bonds to the copperfoil.
The soldering fumes must be vented to the outside of the studio. |
