All Fatlip fused glass is handmade in Argentina by a family that we met whilst travelling through.
The
Egyptians and Persians mastered the art of fusing and slumping
glass, and created beautiful pieces for the pharaohs.
The age old technique of kiln-forming glass is a fascinating transformation of glass when combined with heat. Once
the design has been completed the piece is stacked in a kiln. The kiln is heated to approximately 1500 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the right temperature is reached and maintained for an hour, the glass begins to liquify. As a result the layers either
bend to a mold or fuse and become one solid piece. Firing a piece of jewellery takes approximately 6 to 8 hours. Additional
treatments to the surface of the glass may be added and once again the heating process is repeated.
During each process the glass must be slowly cooled to room temperature. An annealing process is used which ensures
that the finished piece of glass will be free of any stress which could crack or shatter the glass.
