Glass Melting & Color Formulation2019–ongoing
Mixing and melting of custom color for casting and glassblowing furnaces. An interest in glass color formulation turned into a welcome rabbit hole: Translating a crucible clay body into slip for casting; Ram-press moldmaking for faster crucible production—a 3-D modeled and CNC milled hexagonal design in two sizes; Batch mixing clear recipes from scratch, testing their casting quality, and choosing one as a color base; Lost-wax castings of bunnies to demonstrate volume color in a range of 3mm—3in thickness. These "test tiles" provide information for future adjustment of dopant percentages. |
