THE A RTS that we mostly associate with glass, namely transparency and fragility, exploited. CREATIVE The basic materials used to make glass are silica (sand), a flux (soda or potash) and a stabiliser (for example, lime). The mixture turns into a liquid when heated to a high temperature and is then shaped through various techniques. It becomes solid when cooled. Glass is a solution and retains the random molecular structure of a liquid when it stiffens. Because it lacks a structure of interlocking crystals, it is transparent, easily USE OF GLASS shattered and deteriorates over time.

Glassblowers of Venice Kept Their Art So Secret That It Almost Died out by Associated Press, Adapted by Newsela Staff on 02.11.16 Word Count 620
Glassblowers of Venice kept their art so secret that it almost died out By Associated Press, adapted by Newsela staff on 02.11.16 Word Count 620 Glassblower William Gudenrath puts enamel on a bowl with techniques used by Renaissance Venetians at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, Jan. 22, 2016. Gudenrath spent decades researching how Renaissance glassmakers produced objects that are now considered works of art. Photo: AP/Mike Groll ALBANY, N.Y. — A modern-day glassblower believes he has unraveled the mysteries of Venetian glassmaking that was crafted during the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a cultural movement in Europe that lasted from the 1300s to the 1600s. During that period, glassmakers' secrets were closely guarded by the Venetian government. Anyone who spoke of them could be killed. Specially Skilled Craftsmen Today's glassblowers work with gas-fired furnaces and electric-powered ovens called kilns. Their studios are well lit and have proper air ventilation. The craftsmen of Murano, an island near Venice, Italy, did not have such technology. Yet they turned out pieces of art popular in museums today. The techniques, or the methods they used to make the objects, remained sought after for centuries. William Gudenrath spent years studying Venetian glass collections at American and European museums. He compared them with newer glasswork from Venice. He experimented on his own and traveled to Italy many times. Gudenrath combined all of his knowledge to produce an online guide. Guiding Modern Artists The guide is called "The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking." It was recently posted on the website of the Corning Museum of Glass in New York. -

Résumé Une campagne de fouille archéologique préalable à un projet d’urbanisme a été menée en août 2015 au lieu-dit Le Puisoz à Vénissieux (Rhône). Cette opération a permis de mettre au jour un dépotoir de 400 m², découvert dans le fossé défensif de la seconde enceinte de fortifications de la ville de Lyon. Daté de la fin du premier quart du XXe s., son comblement est composé dans sa quasi- totalité de céramiques et de verres. Il témoigne ainsi de la politique de tri sélectif mise en place à Lyon à cette époque. Le mobilier en verre se distingue d’une part par des rejets d’une production industrielle et d’autre part, par de la verrerie domestique. -
