Description

• These pieces are handmade glass from the Murano region.
• This manufacturer invented the centrifuge machine and technique that spins molten glass into discs that are then manipulated by hand into various organic shapes.
• During the process, varying colors and finishes are applied to the glass.
• Still, warm pieces are put through an annealing process in a tunnel oven to cool slowly so as not to explode.
• The annealing process can take anywhere from hrs.
• to many days depending on the thickness of the glass.
• Annealing is a process of slowly cooling glass to relieve internal stresses after it was formed.
• The process may be carried out in a temperature-controlled kiln known as a Lehr.
