    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.

  • Bullseye Glass Co. / Classes & Special Events
    Bullseye Glass Co. | Classes & Special Events May to September 2012 • Emeryville, California From the Director Artist Klaus Moje at Resource Center Portland, 2007. What is Kiln-Glass? In 1974 three self-described “hippie glassblowers” started Bullseye Glass Company, a small factory for making specialty sheet glass in Portland, Oregon. While they initially focused on making colored sheets for use in stained glass, they aspired to do what had never been done before: to produce a palette of colored glasses tested to be compatible for fusing with one another for producing works in the kiln. By 1979 they had succeeded, but immediately ran into a challenge: they had created something remarkable for which almost no demand existed. Ever the innovators, they decided to embark on a long-term program of research projects working directly with artists to help pioneer and expand the technical, aesthetic and conceptual development of the field that is today known as kiln-glass. Kiln-glass is a term that describes an enormous range of techniques and outcomes that are radically more accessible than many other working methods, such as glassblowing, in which one must first develop basic physical skills for years before being able to effectively realize well-executed works. By contrast, many of the skills required for kiln-glass are things that most artists already possess: an understanding of design, composition, color theory, and the ability to conceive of layers of process and material application. And while kiln-glass does require basic knowledge of technical issues and nuances, these are readily obtained in short order through publications and curriculum that have been developed as an outgrowth of Bullseye’s years of collaboration with artists.

  • Design and Fabrication of Nonconventional Optical Components by Precision Glass Molding
    Design and Fabrication of Nonconventional Optical Components by Precision Glass Molding DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Peng He Graduate Program in Industrial and Systems Engineering The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Allen Y. Yi, Advisor Dr. Jose M. Castro Dr. L. James Lee Copyright by Peng He 2014 Abstract Precision glass molding is a net-shaping process to fabricate glass optics by replicating optical features from precision molds to glass at elevated temperature. The advantages of precision glass molding over traditional glass lens fabrication methods make it especially suitable for the production of optical components with complicated geometries, such as aspherical lenses, diffractive hybrid lenses, microlens arrays, etc. Despite of these advantages, a number of problems must be solved before this process can be used in industrial applications. The primary goal of this research is to determine the feasibility and performance of nonconventional optical components formed by precision glass molding. This research aimed to investigate glass molding by combing experiments and finite element method (FEM) based numerical simulations. The first step was to develop an integrated compensation solution for both surface deviation and refractive index drop of glass optics. An FEM simulation based on Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan (TNM) model was applied to predict index drop of the molded optical glass. The predicted index value was then used to compensate for the optical design of the lens. Using commercially available general purpose software, ABAQUS, the entire process of glass molding was simulated to calculate the surface deviation from the adjusted lens geometry, which was applied to final mold shape modification.

  • Crafted Architecture, an Investigation Into Handcrafted Glass Techniques
    Crafted Architecture, An Investigation into Handcrafted Glass Techniques Alex Krissberg Konstfack CRAFT! Department of Ceramic and Glass Master 2 Spring 2018 Tutors: Reino Björk, Birgitta Burling, Sara Isaksson From, Hans Isaksson, Agneta Linton, Anders Ljungberg, Marie O’Connor, Johanna Rosenqvist, Bella Rune, Matt Smith Word count: 5,187 Abstract This paper is an investigation into the crossroads of traditional and contemporary glass craft techniques. Through innovative methods in the workshop I have set out to bring glass into the public sphere using the potential for handcraft in architecture. Keywords: Glass, Glassblowing, Handmade, Architectural Glass, American Studio Glass Movement, Rondel, Murrini, Cane Index Introduction 1 Background 2-5 Context 6-9 Methods: Theory (Bubbles & Blobs) 10-12 Methods: Techniques 13-16 Discussion 17-18 Conclusion 19-20 References 21-22 Appendix 23-26 Introduction This paper follows my masters project where I work with my own invented glass techniques that I am using to construct glass sheets for the purpose of architectural glass. In this project I am researching in what ways can handmade architectural craft change a space? In exploring how handmade glass can change a space, I will investigate how unseen glass traditions which happen in the workshop outside of public view can be present in a crafted object, and what society’s perception of craft might be historically and currently. I believe that public glass is lacking in the handmade. In the past society had depended on craftsmen to make windows, but now as they are mostly machine made it has become void of certain qualities. I would say architectural and functional glass is often overlooked as just a building material or tool, an object that is not seen or a transparent wall.

Baltic Glass The development of new creative models based on historical and contemporary contextualization Anna Vesele A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Design and Media, University of Sunderland April 2010 1 Abstract The aim of this research was to demonstrate the creative potential of a particular type of coloured flat glass. This glass is produced in Russia and is known as Russian glass. The present researcher has refined methods used by Baltic glass artists to create three- dimensional artworks. The examination of the development of glass techniques in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was necessary in order to identify these methods and to contextualize the researcher’s personal practice. This study describes for the first time the development of glass art techniques in the Baltic States from the 1950s to the present day. A multi-method approach was used to address research issues from the perspective of the glass practitioner. The methods consisted of the development of sketches, models and glass artworks using existing and unique assembling methods. The artworks underlined the creative potential of flat material and gave rise to a reduction in costs. In conjunction with these methods, the case studies focused on the identification of similarities among Baltic glass practices and similarities of approach to using various glass techniques.
