The Art and Craft of Creating Glass Products

Creating glass sculptures is a mesmerizing and intricate process that combines artistry, precision, and advanced technical skills. This age-old craft has evolved significantly over the centuries, yet it remains grounded in traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. Here, we explore the detailed production process of glass sculptures, highlighting the key stages from conception to completion.

Quartz Sand (SiO₂)

We source the purest quartz sand globally, with a silicon dioxide content reaching 99.9%. The purer the silica, the more brilliant and transparent the final product will be.

Melting in Furnace

Heat silica and other components to over 1,400°C

Adding Precious Metals

Introduce metal oxides and precious metals to create colors.

Shaping the Molten Glass

The next phase involves transforming the molten glass into the desired shape

From Liquid to Solid: Annealing
  • Temperature is gradually reduced over 7 to 10 days. Gradual cooling in a kiln to relieve internal stresses.
Cutting and Polishing

Use diamond tools, grinders, and polishing methods.

Packaging

Wrap and cushion the sculpture for safe transport.
