Details

Kiln casting is a technique which requires a lot of precision in calculating the correct parabola of time and temperature to melt the glass and cool it down without cracks. At a certain heat threshold, the glass chips start to melt and flow from the crucibles into the moulds. This project attempted to “freeze” this phenomenon, letting the glass create a three dimensional shape through its own flowing.

Introducing physical obstacles in the mould, it is possible to deviate and direct the flow of the molten glass and obtain different geometries.
