L'atelier du verre
Florence invites you to discover her expertise: glass painting.
This craft involves decorating glassware or any other glass object with a special paint that, after a 48-hour drying period, is fired in a low-temperaturetemperature.
Fusing
The purpose of fusing is to join several layers of glass together so that they form a single piece through precise firing at high temperatures. The cut and cleaned pieces of glass are arranged on a bed of refractory sand. They are heated to their melting point—ranging from 800 to 1,100 degrees—in a kiln to create a single, unique piece. Eight to twelve hours of firing are required, depending on the type of creation desired.
Ultimately, with this technique, we adapt to the material rather than controlling it.
