Beautiful piece. Love the simplicity of form and colour. This is a great tutorial which will help me make a piece I have been wanting to do for some time. The clear steps make the process much clearer.

Absolutely riveted by the process, so much can go wrong. The end result was spectacular, like amber encased in perfect ice sphere half that will never melt.

I love the texture of cire perdue glass pieces. René Lalique designed and made wonderfull glass cire perdue pieces (with his chef d'atelier Maurice Bergelin) to make them look as though they were carved from one block of rock crystal. Rock crystal is a mineral or gem also used by Lalique who had been a jeweller prior to glassmaking. Love your craftsmanship and the wonderfull piece you made, very sensual and tactile. Invites to touch.

Holy crap just read some of the negative comments. Guys do your f***ing homework on working with glass. Glass is a true bitch to work with and this is ART. If the artist is happy with the outcome, that's what counts. I my self appreciate something made form almost nothing. Way to go Bruno! Keep up the great work!!

If I shellac a kiln fired ceramic sculpture can I use this to create an investment mold? If so how do you remove the ceramic piece from the plaster investment without breaking it? Is this challenging?

Actually, the melt was fairly fast. The time-consuming part is the cooling process. With glass that thick, he likely had to cool it down the first couple hundred degrees at no more than 1/2 degree per hour
@RichlandJoey8 жыл бұрын
No. Initially, the furnace temperature was probably raised to around 1,600 deg F to melt the glass but the temperature wasn't held there long enough or was cooled down to below 1,200 F too quickly. That allowed the trapped bubbles to be captured. I do traditional glassblowing. When I add fresh glass to the furnace, I raise the temp to 2,200 F and hold it there for at least 2 hours. Then, I slowly cool the glass down to around 1,900 F and hold that temp for several hours. The glass is still molten and fluid but, with the lower temperature, it's more dense. It's a process often referred to as a squeeze - to help get rid of the air bubbles. If cooled down to a solid state without that kind of pause, you get entrapped bubbles.

The finished piece is interesting. Not sure it's worth all that effort. I feel like the casting process could be simplified if the end goal is a half sphere with a hole in the middle.

If he was going to carve the original model he could have carved the piece of plaster that the glass went into for casting 1. carve plaster 2: put in glass and fire in kiln 3:finish work off.
