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.

This glass piece is the quantity of material which remained in the crucible. On the surface, it is possible to distinguish dimension, position and shape of the holes for casting the glass flows.
