| I work in "Borosilicate" glass, otherwise known as Hot or Hard Glass. Also known as Pyrex or Corning Ware. Those are the names of company's in the USA that produce Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass melts at a very high temperature and cools quickly; it can take shock like hot or cold very well, and in turn is considered extremely strong. I am able to incorporate precious
metals like pure gold and silver into the clear glass through a technique
called fuming. I also have a wide variety of colors that come in hard
rod form that I melt and work with almost like a color pencil. |
