I’ve got a project that is requiring me to make streaky glass that will be used for a countertop for a bathroom. Fortunately, it’s not a huge counter but it is a challenging endeavor nonetheless. So I started to ask Mr. Google who could help me with some advice. One of the best sources of information came from Glassblower.info.
The idea is to put scrap glass into a clay flower pot, and take your kiln up to 1700F,
at which time the now molten glass will drizzle out the (one or more) holes
in the bottom of the flower pot, hopefully creating intricate designs!
They show many configurations of holes and glass set ups. And they show the results. That’s very important since I anticipate slicing up what I make and then firing that in the mold I make for the slab of glass. The slab will then be waterjet cut to get the shape and the hole for the sink. This will be so cool. I’ll post pictures as the project progresses…
