For this project, we cast 160 glass blocks out of
Missoula's waste
glass. The blocks were etched
by another artist and inlaid into the sidewalk in
front of the Gold Dust building on the North Side
of Missoula. The project was
commishened by
Home
WORD, a Montana
non-profit.
 
The Process:
1. Crush clear glass to be
recycled. 2.
Melt glass in furnace, 2100 degrees.
3. Scoop out liquid
glass.
4. Pour into mold.
 
5. Cool in mold to 1700
degrees. (2
min.) 6. Cool in Kiln to
70degrees. (4 days)
 
  
  
 
Portable Glass Studio
Project: Hot since Nov, 2003 and
going strong.
This is the perfect solution for
glassblowers who love to travel and live to blow glass.
It is a fully functioning portable glass studio. We use
the studio to demonstrate at various art galleries, craft
shows, and private parties. We also use it to make work in
places we find the most inspiring, in the woods, at the beach,
in the desert, etc...
